Molecular ecology approaches are rapidly advancing our insights into the microorganisms
involved in the degradation of marine oil spills and their metabolic potentials. Yet, many …

Microbial remediation has become one of the most important strategies for eliminating
petroleum pollutants. Revealing the transcript maps of microorganisms with the hydrocarbon …

Oil spills in the subarctic marine environment off the coast of Labrador, Canada, are
increasingly likely due to potential oil production and increases in ship traffic in the region …

Petroleum and fuel oil are complex mixtures of recalcitrant hydrocarbons. The
biodegradation of these hydrocarbons needs the action of a vast variety of enzymatic …

Dispersant application is a primary emergency oil spill response strategy and yet the efficacy
and unintended consequences of this approach in marine ecosystems remain controversial …

Abstract The Persian Gulf, hosting ca. 48% of the world's oil reserves, has been chronically
exposed to natural oil seepage. Oil spill studies show a shift in microbial community …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa san ai, an alkaliphilic, metallotolerant bacterium, degraded
individual selected petroleum compounds, ie, n-alkanes (n-hexadecane, n-nonadecane) …

Petroleum hydrocarbons are major pollutants of the marine environment. Bioremediation is
a promising approach for treating such contaminated environments. The present study aims …

Microbial communities ultimately control the fate of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) that
enter the natural environment, but the interactions of microbes with PHCs and the …

Hydrocarbons occur in fossil fuels such as crude oil and consist mainly of hydrogen and
carbon. Although they are natural chemicals, crude oil refining results in commercial …
