The temperature is one of the most important factors determining the success of
bioremediation processes in marine environment. This study focused on the isolation and …

The ability of a psychrotolerant microbial consortium to degrade crude oil at low
temperatures was investigated. The enriched arctic microbial community was also tested for …

A laboratory experiment was conducted to identify key hydrocarbon degraders from a
marine oil spill sample (Prestige fuel oil), to ascertain their role in the degradation of different …

The natural petroleum hydrocarbon degrading capacity of the Archipelago Sea water in SW
Finland was studied in a microcosm experiment. Pristine and previously oil exposed sites …

Two psychrotrophic bacterial strains isolated from Antarctic seawaters were investigated for
their capability to degrade commercial diesel oil. The efficiency of hydrocarbon utilization …

Studies have reported that various hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria are
found in global deep-sea hydrothermal regions. However, little is known about degradation …

In an attempt to evaluate the potential of petroleum bioremediation at high latitudes
environments, microcosm studies using Antarctic coastal seawater contaminated with diesel …

A marine microbial consortium obtained from a beach contaminated by the Prestige oil spill
proved highly efficient in removing the different hydrocarbon families present in this heavy …

Microbial communities were characterized during biodegradation of immobilized oil in
seawater from the Statfjord field and the German Bight in the North Sea. Seawater samples …

The risk of oil spills in cold marine environments is expected to increase in response to trans-
Arctic shipping and as Arctic oil reserves get exploited. Marine hydrocarbon-degrading …
