Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) are a big group of chemicals that have caused a major
concern because of their widespread distribution into the environment, bioaccumulation …

Although strictly anaerobic conditions prevail in several environmental compartments, up to
now, biodegradation studies with emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), such as …

Aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are
very slowly degraded without molecular oxygen. Here, we review the recent advances in the …

The ecology of hydrocarbon degradation by microbial populations in the natural
environment is reviewed, emphasizing the physical, chemical, and biological factors that …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, the products of the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels,
