Given the vast quantity of oil and gas input to the marine environment annually, hydrocarbon
degradation by marine microorganisms is an essential ecosystem service. Linkages …

Understanding the diversity and functions of hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms in
marine environments is crucial for both advancing knowledge of biogeochemical processes …

Unplanned oil spills during offshore oil production are a serious problem for the industry and
the marine environment. Here we assess the biodegradation potential of marine …

Hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms are ubiquitous in the world's oceans (Head et al.,
2006; Yakimov et al., 2007), and biodegradation mediated by indigenous microbial …

Long-term hydrocarbon pollution is a devious threat to aquatic and marine ecosystems.
However, microbial responses to chronic pollution remain poorly understood. Combining …

Marine microbes are known to degrade hydrocarbons; however, microbes inhabiting deep-
sea sediments remain largely unexplored. Previous studies into the classical pathways of …

Microbes play a significant role in the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the oceans,
yet little is known about the native bacteria that metabolize hydrocarbons before an oil spill …

Microorganisms can degrade petroleum hydrocarbons, providing the advantages of low cost
and few side effects towards ecosystems. Here, we evaluated the mechanisms of microbial …

Prokaryotes are the main actors in biogeochemical cycles that are fundamental in global
nutrient cycling. The characterization of microbial communities and isolates can enhance the …
