Alcanivorax borkumensis is a ubiquitous marine petroleum oil-degrading bacterium with an
unusual physiology specialized for alkane metabolism. This “hydrocarbonoclastic” …

Bioaugmentation for oil spills is a much more promising technique than is biostimulation.
However, the effectiveness of bioaugmentation is variable, because the survival and the …

Petroleum hydrocarbons are introduced into the environment through excessive use of fuels
and accidental spills during transportation and storage. Alkanes, a major fraction of crude …

A gram-negative aliphatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium SJTD-1 isolated from oil-
contaminated soil was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by comparative analyses of …

Alkanes are major constituents of crude oil and are also present at low concentrations in
diverse non-contaminated habitats because many living organisms produce them as chemo …

The marine hydrocarbonoclastic bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis is able to degrade
mixtures of n-alkanes as they occur in marine oil spills. However, investigations of growth …

Selection experiments and protein engineering were used to identify an amino acid position
in integral membrane alkane hydroxylases (AHs) that determines whether long-chain-length …

A column microcosm was conducted by amending crude oil into Dagang Oilfield soil to
simulate the bioremediation process. The dynamic change of microbial communities and …

Resumen (Introducción): La biorremediación es una tecnología que utiliza microorganismos
(bacterias, hongos, algas) o enzimas, para biodegradar contaminantes del petróleo y …

In cold marine environments, the obligate hydrocarbon‐degrading psychrophile Oleispira
antarctica RB‐8, which utilizes aliphatic alkanes almost exclusively as substrates, dominates …
