Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacteria Alcanivorax and Marinobacter Associated With Microalgae Pavlova lutheri and Nannochloropsis oculata
Marine hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria play an important role in natural petroleum biodegradation processes and were initially associated with man-made oil spills or natural seeps.There is no full clarity though on what, in the absence of petroleum, their natural niches are.Few studies pointed at some marine microalgae that produce oleophilic compou
