A novel bacterial strain, DQ12-45-1b, was isolated from the production water of a deep
subterranean oil-reservoir. Morphological, physiological and phylogenetic analyses …

Releases of crude oil and other types of oil from numerous sources can impose catastrophic
physical, chemical, and biological effects on aquatic ecosystems. While currently-used oil …

Microbially induced concrete corrosion (MICC) caused by sulfuric acid attack in sewer
systems has been a serious problem for a long time. A better understanding of microbial …

Following Recommendation 30b of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision), a proposal of
minimal standards for describing new taxa within the family Halomonadaceae is presented …

Culture-dependent methods for bacterial community analysis are currently considered
obsolete; therefore, molecular techniques are usually used instead. The results of the …

Plastics released in the environment become suitable matrices for microbial attachment and
colonization. Plastics-associated microbial communities interact with each other and are …

Here, we report the genomic features and the bioremediation potential of Halomonas
desertis G11, a new halophilic species which uses crude oil as a carbon and energy source …

Abstract A Rhodococcus strain, Chr-9, which has the ability to degrade pyridine and phenol
and reduce chromium (VI)(Cr (VI)) was isolated. The strain could grow with pyridine as the …

Taking natural coal as a “seed bank” of bacterial strains able to degrade lignin that is with
molecular structure similar to coal components, we isolated 393 and 483 bacterial strains …

Four bacterial strains, SL014B-41A4T, SL014B-20A1T, SL014B-76A1 and SL014B-79A,
isolated from a crude oil-contaminated saline soil of Shengli Oilfield, China, were …
