Proteomic insights into the marine obligate hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (OHCB) during alkane degradation
Obligate hydrocarbanoclastic bacteria (OHCB) typically dominate microbial communities after marine oil spills due to their distinct ability to utilize hydrocarbons as sole carbon and energy sources. They perform key roles in the natural attenuation of oil pollution, but also have the potential to …

Effect of Crude Oil on Light Attenuation and the Resulting Impacts on Marine Microbial Phototrophs and Heterotrophs
… measured and their alkane production to sustain hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (HCB). Chlorophyll a and DNA concentrations were measured as a proxy for biomass. DGGE analysis of bacterial 16S rRNA and psbA genes was also performed. Miseq Illumina sequencing analysis was performed to measure the …

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 …

Marine microbial communities capable of hydrocarbon biodegradation along shipping routes in the Kivalliq region of the Canadian Arctic
… 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 Arctic. However, the …

Characterization and comparison of microbial communities from different tourist ports in Mediterranean Sea and evaluation of applicability of bioremediation treatments
… -Do different tourist ports share the same bacterial communities? -Do bioremediation strategies have similar applicability in different tourist port areas? The specific aims of the present study were: 1. Definition and comparison of the pollution status of seawater. 2. Comparison of the …
