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.
