Biosurfactants are surface-active biomolecules produced by microbes (bacteria, fungi, and
yeast) and have several advantages over the chemical surfactants, such as lower toxicity …

Although diverse bacteria capable of degrading petroleum hydrocarbons have been
isolated and characterized, the vast majority of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, including …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading bacteria were isolated from contaminated
estuarine sediment and salt marsh rhizosphere by enrichment using either naphthalene …

The bacteria involved in the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in
deep sea subsurface environments are largely unknown. In order to reveal their biodiversity …

A pyrene‐degrading bacterial consortium was obtained from deep‐sea sediments of the
Pacific Ocean. The consortium degraded many kinds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons …

Surface sediment samples were collected from seven mangrove swamps in Hong Kong
SAR with different degrees of contamination. The total concentrations of 16 PAHs in these …

Under certain conditions, dispersed crude oil in the sea combines with organisms, organic
matter, and minerals to form marine oil snow (MOS), thereby contributing to the sinking of oil …

Compound-specific stable carbon isotopic composition measurement is a promising
discriminative tool for source identification of hydrocarbons in modern environments …

Micrococcus luteus (SM4); Acinetobacter anitratus (SM6); Vibrio paraheamolyticus (SM7)
