• Microbial degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. (2017, neutral): “Yakimov et al. (2007), and Brooijmans et al. (2009), have reported evolution of hydrocarbonoclastic bacterial genera Oleispira, Marinobacter, Thalassolituus, Alcanivorax and Cycloclasticus from petroleum hydrocarbon polluted sites.”
• Biodegradation: Involved Microorganisms and Genetically Engineered Microorganisms (2013, background): “Several bacteria are even known to feed exclusively on hydrocarbons [22].”
• Microbial Degradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminants: An Overview (2010, background): “Several bacteria are even known to feed exclusively on hydrocarbons [39].”
• Distribution of PAHs and the PAH-degrading bacteria in the deep-sea sediments of the high-latitude Arctic Ocean (2014, background): “In addition, Cycloclasticus and Alcanivorax are noteworthy because they have been recognized as obligate marine hydrocarbon degraders (Yakimov et al., 2007), and they were widespread in all of the sediments tested in this report (Table S4).”
• Microbial Degradation of Alkanes (2012, background): “They play a key role in the removal of hydrocarbons from the polluted environments (Head et al. 2006; Yakimov et al. 2007).”
• Production and Roles of Biosurfactants and Bioemulsifiers in Accessing Hydrophobic Substrates. (2010, background): “Spills of oil and hydrocarbons in marine environments stimulate the indigenous community of obligate hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (OHCB) to flourish becoming the majority of the total microbial population (Yakimov et al., 2007).”
