The Marinobacter genus comprises widespread marine bacteria, found in localities as
diverse as the deep ocean, coastal seawater and sediment, hydrothermal settings, oceanic …

The transition of the martian climate from the wet Noachian era to the dry Hesperian (4.1–3.0
Gya) likely resulted in saline surface waters that were rich in sulfur species. Terrestrial …

Hydrocarbon catabolic genes were investigated in soils and sediments in nine different
locations around Syowa Station, Antarctica, using conventional PCR, real-time PCR …

Marinobacter sp. W1-16 from Antarctic surface seawater was analysed for the production of
extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). Enhancement of the EPS biosynthesis was …

Hydrocarbon contamination in the environment has been a notable problem since years.
Particularly the major oil spills in last few decades, and resulting loss to biodiversity has …

A rod-shaped, Gram-stain-negative, slightly halotolerant bacterium, designated strain D15-
8PT, was isolated from a sediment sample from the South China Sea. The strain could grow …

Antarctica is an isolated and relatively simple ecosystem dominated by microorganisms,
providing a rare opportunity to study the spread of airborne microbes and to predict future …

The microbial degradation of crude oil stranded on seashores is usually much slower than
that of dispersed oil at sea. This is usually attributed to nutrient limitation and higher oil …

A novel halophilic bacterium, strain 71-iT, was isolated from Inche-Broun hypersaline lake in
Golestan province, in the north of Iran. It was a Gram-stain-negative, non-endospore …

Long-term coal mining has created unique microbial communities in deep coal mines.
Revealing the microbial community structure and metabolic functions in the underground …
