Metataxonomic Characterization of Enriched Consortia Derived from Oil Spill-Contaminated Sites in Guimaras, Philippines, Reveals Major Role of Klebsiella sp. in Hydrocarbon Degradation [PDF]

International Journal of Microbiology, 2023
Oil spills are major anthropogenic disasters that cause serious harm to marine environments. In the Philippines, traditional methods of rehabilitating oil-polluted areas were proven to be less efficient and cause further damage to the environment ...

Bacteria-Oil Microaggregates Are an Important Mechanism for Hydrocarbon Degradation in the Marine Water Column [PDF]

mSystems, 2021
Following oil spills in aquatic environments, oil-associated flocculants observed within contaminated waters ultimately lead to the sedimentation of oil as marine oil snow (MOS).

Bioturbation by the Ghost Shrimp Lepidophthalmus louisianensis Increases Petroleum Hydrocarbon Degradation for Coastal Sediments in Mildly Oiled Mesocosms [PDF]

Microorganisms
Bioturbating animals move around large amounts of sediment, changing its physicochemical properties and biogeochemical processes. The present study assessed the role of the ghost shrimp Lepidophthalmus louisianensis, a major coastal bioturbator in the ...

Inversion of the Degradation Coefficient of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Pollutants in Laizhou Bay

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
When petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants enter the ocean, besides the migration under hydrodynamic constraints, their degradation due to environmental conditions also occurs. However, available observations are usually spatiotemporally disperse, which makes

Exploring novel alkane-degradation pathways in uncultured bacteria from the North Atlantic Ocean

mSystems, 2023
Microbes play a significant role in the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the oceans, yet little is known about the native bacteria that metabolize hydrocarbons before an oil spill.

Hydrocarbon biodegradation by Proteus and Serratia strains isolated from oil-polluted water in Bonny Community, Niger Delta, Nigeria

Results in Chemistry, 2023
Two indigenous hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria strains, designated as TKZ and QGR were isolated in oil rich Niger Delta of Nigeria. Determination of the nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding 16S rRNA allowed TKZ and QGR to be identified as Proteus ...
