Potential for aerobic hydrocarbon oxidation in archaea

Nature Communications
Over the last decade, there have been significant advances in our understanding of anaerobic hydrocarbon oxidation in archaea. However, the ability to oxidise hydrocarbons aerobically has been described in bacteria but not yet in archaea.
