DOI: 10.1007/s00449-021-02534-6
Abstract: A major hindrance to the effective use of fungi in bioremediation is their inherent slow growth. Despite this, Aspergillus spp. may be used effectively. Our experiments demonstrate that bacteria, although inefficient in hydrocarbon degradation, may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.14947
Abstract: Summary Pristine marine environments are highly oligotrophic ecosystems populated by well‐established specialized microbial communities. Nevertheless, during oil spills, low‐abundant hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria bloom and rapidly prevail over the marine microbiota. The genus Alcanivorax is one of… read more here.
