Thermophilic archaea activate butane via alkyl-coenzyme M formation
The anaerobic formation and oxidation of methane involve unique enzymatic mechanisms
and cofactors, all of which are believed to be specific for C1-compounds. Here we show that …

Anaerobic degradation of alkanes by marine archaea
Alkanes are saturated apolar hydrocarbons that range from their simplest form, methane, to
high-molecular-weight compounds. Although alkanes were once considered biologically …

Anaerobic oxidation of ethane by archaea from a marine hydrocarbon seep
Ethane is the second most abundant component of natural gas in addition to methane, and—
similar to methane—is chemically unreactive. The biological consumption of ethane under …

Thermogenic hydrocarbon biodegradation by diverse depth-stratified microbial populations at a Scotian Basin cold seep
At marine cold seeps, gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons migrate from deep subsurface
origins to the sediment-water interface. Cold seep sediments are known to host …

Hydrocarbon degradation and response of seafloor sediment bacterial community in the northern Gulf of Mexico to light Louisiana sweet crude oil
Abstract The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) blowout resulted in the deposition to the seafloor of
up to 4.9% of 200 million gallons of oil released into the Gulf of Mexico. The petroleum …

Microbial transformation of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill—past, present, and future perspectives
The Deepwater Horizon blowout, which occurred on April 20, 2010, resulted in an
unprecedented oil spill. Despite a complex effort to cap the well, oil and gas spewed from …
