Hypersaline environments are important for both surface extension and ecological
significance. As all other ecosystems, they are impacted by pollution. However, little …

According to current estimates, the annual volume of crude oil entering the ocean due to
both anthropogenic activities and naturally occurring seepages reaches approximately 8.3 …

In this study we established the B1 and B12 vitamin requirement of the dinoflagellate
Lingulodinium polyedrum and the vitamin supply by its associated bacterial community. In …

Marine hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria play an important role in natural petroleum
biodegradation processes and were initially associated with man-made oil spills or natural …

Abstract The Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010 brought the ecology and health of the Gulf
of Mexico to the forefront of the public's and scientific community's attention. Not only did we …

The Marinobacter genus comprises widespread marine bacteria, found in localities as
diverse as the deep ocean, coastal seawater and sediment, hydrothermal settings, oceanic …

The biodegradation of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) has been broadly investigated, but
studies typically focus on a single strain or enzyme and little attention has been paid to …

This study aimed to identify and characterise biosurfactant compounds produced by bacteria
associated with a marine eukaryotic phytoplankton bloom. One strain, designated MCTG214 …

In this study, Marinobacter sp. N4 isolated from the halophilic consortium CY-1 was found to
degrade phenanthrene as a sole carbon source with the accumulation of 1-Hydroxy-2 …

Ecological differentiation between strains of bacterial species is shaped by genomic and
metabolic variability. However, connecting genotypes to ecological niches remains a major …
