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 …

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 …

Crude oil is a complex mixture of different hydrocarbons. While diverse bacterial
communities can degrade oil, the specific roles of individual members within such …

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 aims of this study were to identify the bacteria responsible for the rapid degradation of
aromatic hydrocarbons, and to determine the roles of bacterial species in the microbial …

The bacteria involved in the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in
deep sea subsurface environments are largely unknown. In order to reveal their biodiversity …

Although diverse bacteria capable of degrading petroleum hydrocarbons have been
isolated and characterized, the vast majority of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, including …

The bioremediation of petroleum spills in marine environments is still a challenge
nowadays, and the technology available towards this goal must be improved. The search for …

The pollution of petroleum hydrocarbons in the sea is an increasingly widespread
international problem that threatens the environment and human health. At present, there …

During oil spills in the field or for laboratory incubation studies, different oil concentrations
are often encountered or applied, yet how initial oil concentration affects biodegradation …
