Organic chemicals as hydrocarbons provided by crude oil represent serious environmental and health risk. For the remediation of contaminated soil different physical, chemical and biological technologies can be applied. The most promising remediation technologies are based on biodegradation. Bioremediation is an inexpensive, safe and environmental friendly technology. The end product of bioremediation is the harmless, decontaminated soil. Bioremediation of hydrocarbon polluted soils can be improved by the increase of hydrocarbon availability. In present review, it is discussed various effects of cyclodextrins on hydrocarbons biodegradation, bioremediation strategies, mechanisms involved in hydrocarbons biodegradation, factors and some technologies in bioremediation approaches.
