Diversity of methane and short chain hydrocarbon degrading bacteria with an emphasis on methane biofilter systems
… phylogeny from pmoA and pmoC. The gammaproteobacteria AMO (Nitrosococcus spp.), the gammaproteobacterial Pxm, the thaumarcheotal AMO and the NC10 pMMO showed little or no compositional bias in the xmo operon indicating similar compositional biases to its genome. Based on the analysis, possible …

Marine microbial communities capable of hydrocarbon biodegradation along shipping routes in the Kivalliq region of the Canadian Arctic
… and cultural livelihood. Naturally occurring hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria within the marine microbiome have the potential to catalyze biodegradation of crude oil compounds, with previous studies showing cold-adapted oil-degrading bacteria inhabiting different marine biomes in the Canadian …

An Evaluation of the Effects of Marine Oil-spills, Remediation Strategies, and Shipwrecks on Microbial Community Structure and Succession
The evaluation of how Bacteria respond to oil-contamination, and the application of dispersants and biosurfactants, in North Sea seawater microcosms is the focus of Chapter Two. Analysis revealed that dispersants and biosurfactants, which significantly reduced the interfacial tension between oil …

Bioremediation of modelled petroleum-contaminated soils of the Niger Delta and the impact of zeolite augmentation
… of the Niger Delta by a mixed culture of three hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, Acinetobacter sp, Rhodococcus sp and Pseudomonas sp, was investigated. These bacterial strains were selected based on criteria that they were able to utilize hydrocarbons (hexadecane and sodium benzoate) as the sole …

Characterization and comparison of microbial communities from different tourist ports in Mediterranean Sea and evaluation of applicability of bioremediation treatments
… areas. Specifically, pollution by petroleum hydrocarbons is one of the major environmental problems in ports and it is mainly associated with the heavy ship/boat traffic and the related facilities located in these areas. The ship transport in ports is powered by diesel. The present study was …
