Alkane-degrading bacteria are ubiquitous in marine environments, but little is known about
how alkane degradation is regulated. Here we investigate alkane sensing, chemotaxis …

Alcanivorax dieselolei strain B‐5 is a marine bacterium that can utilize a broad range of n‐
alkanes (C5–C36) as sole carbon source. However, the mechanisms responsible for this …

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

Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2T is an important obligate hydrocarbonoclastic bacterium
(OHCB) that can dominate microbial communities following marine oil spills. It possesses …

Autochthonous microorganisms inhabiting hydrocarbon polluted marine environments play
a fundamental role in natural attenuation and constitute promising resources for …

The marine obligate hydrocarbonoclastic bacterium Thalassolituus oleivorans MIL-1
metabolizes a broad range of aliphatic hydrocarbons almost exclusively as carbon and …

Pristine marine environments are highly oligotrophic ecosystems populated by well‐
established specialized microbial communities. Nevertheless, during oil spills, low …

Understanding microbial responses to hydrocarbon and plastic pollution are crucial for
limiting the detrimental impacts of environmental contaminants on marine ecosystems …

The marine oil-degrading bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2 has attracted significant
interest due to its hydrocarbonoclastic lifestyle, its alkane-centered metabolism, and for …

Abstract Alcanivorax hongdengensis A-11-3 is a newly identified type strain isolated from
the surface water of the Malacca and Singapore Straits that can degrade a wide range of …
