DNA-based stable isotope probing coupled with cultivation methods implicates Methylophaga in hydrocarbon degradation
Marine hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria perform a fundamental role in the oxidation and ultimate removal of crude oil and its petrochemical derivatives in coastal and open ocean environments. Those with an almost exclusive ability to utilize hydrocarbons as a sole carbon and energy source have been fo...
