Linking chemical extraction to microbial degradation of C-14-hexadecane in soil. (2008)
Stroud, Jacqueline L., Paton, Graeme I., Semple, Kirk T.
Chemical extractions have been shown to measure the biodegradable fraction of aromatic in soil; however, there is little research on the chemical prediction of aliphatic hydrocarbon degradation. The...
Risdon, Graeme C., Pollard, Simon J. T., Brassington, Kirsty J., McEwan, Jamie N., Paton, Graeme I., Semple, Kirk T., ...
A sequential ultrasonic extraction method for contaminated soils with weathered hydrocarbons is presented. The method covers the determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons between nC(8) and...
Pollard, Simon J. T., Hough, Rupert L., Kim, Kye-Hoon, Bellarby, Jessica, Paton, Graeme I., Semple, Kirk T., ...
Level I and II fugacity approaches were used to model the environmental distribution of benzene, anthracene, phenanthrene, 1-methylphenanthrene and benzo[a]pyrene in a four phase biopile system,...

Importance of chemical structure on the development of hydrocarbon catabolism in soil. (2007)
Stroud, Jacqueline L., Paton, Graeme I., Semple, Kirk T.
A soil was amended with C-14-analogues of naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, B[a]P or hexadecane at 50 mg kg(-1) and the development of catabolic activity was assessed by determining the rate and...
Weathered Hydrocarbon Wastes: A Risk Management Primer (2007)
Brassington, Kirsty J., Hough, Rupert L., Paton, Graeme I., Semple, Kirk T., Risdon, Graeme C., Crossley, Jane, ...
We provide a primer and critical review of the characterization, risk assessment, and bioremediation of weathered hydrocarbons. Historically the remediation of soil contaminated with petroleum...
Papadopoulos, Apostolos, Paton, Graeme I., Reid, Brian J., Semple, Kirk T.
Biodegradation has been identified as a major loss process for organic contaminants in soils and, as a result, microbial strategies have been developed for the remediation of contaminated land....
Dew, Nadia M., Paton, Graeme I., Semple, Kirk T.
This study investigated the use of an aqueous hydroxypropyl-p-cyclodextrin (HPCD) shake extraction in predicting microbial mineralisation and total loss of [3-C-14]phenyldodecane associated activity...
Optimising the biopiling of weathered hydrocarbons within a risk management framework. (2005)
Hough, Rupert L., Brassington, Kirsty J., Sinke, Anja, Crossley, Jane, Paton, Graeme I., Semple, Kirk T., ...
Thirty years of research into petroleum microbiology and bioremediation have bypassed an important observation – that many hydrocarbon contaminated sites posing potential risks to human health...

Patterson, Colin J., Semple, Kirk T., Paton, Graeme I.
Non-exhaustive extraction techniques (NEETs) have been shown to measure the putatively bioavailable fraction of hydrophobic compounds in soil. To date, these studies have only considered...
Artz, Rebekka R. E., Semple, Kirk T., Killham, Ken, Prosser, Jim I., Paton, Graeme I.
The potential for natural attenuation of hydrocarbons in oily drill cuttings from the seabed beneath a North Sea oil platform was investigated. The study focused on the anaerobic degradation of...
Reid, Brian J., Semple, Kirk T., Macleod, Christopher J., Weitz, Hedda J., Paton, Graeme I.
The aim of this study was to assess the acute toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons using lux-marked bacterial biosensors, Standard solutions of phenanthrene, pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene were...
