• Degradation of BTEX by anaerobic bacteria: physiology and application (2010, methodology): “Anaerobic degradation of BTEX has been reviewed in the past (Schink et al. 1992; Heider et al. 1999; Spormann and Widdel 2000; Phelps and Young 2001; Widdel and Rabus 2001; Chakraborty and Coates 2004; Heider 2007; Foght 2008; Fuchs 2008; Carmona et al. 2009).”
• Recent Advances in Petroleum Microbiology (2003, methodology): “This is evidenced by the number of reviews being published in the area after 10 years of accelerated discovery (203, 243, 250, 271, 390, 482, 581, 664).”
• The direct role of aerobic heterotrophic bacteria associated with cyanobacteria in the degradation of oil compounds (2005, background): “Furthermore, aerobic microorganisms seem to degrade a wider range of hydrocarbons than anaerobic ones (Widdel and Rabus, 2001).”
• Microbial degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. (2017, positive): “Diverse degradation pathways and catabolic genes for biodegradation of each hydrocarbon group are reported earlier (Widdel and Rabus, 2001; Hendrickx et al., 2006; Foght, 2008; Meckenstock et al., 2016).”
• Metabolism of n-alkanes and n-alkenes by anaerobic bacteria : A summary (2008, background): “Although reports on the possible microbial utilisation of hydrocarbons in the absence of oxygen have regularly appeared since the 1940s, the biodegradation of such compounds under strictly anaerobic conditions was only clearly demonstrated in the late 1980s (reviewed by Spormann and Widdel, 2000; Wi”
• Impact of natural oil and higher hydrocarbons on microbial diversity, distribution, and activity in Gulf of Mexico cold-seep sediments (2010, methodology): “(2), e.g., hexadecane oxidation (Widdel and Rabus, 2001)): CH4+SO4 2 -HCO3 +HS +H2O (1) C16H34+12.25SO4 2 -16HCO3 +12.25HS +3.75H+ +H2O In methane-dominated sediments, methane oxidation rates match sulfate reduction, resulting in an approximate 1:1 coupling between the two processes, as in the SMTZ.”
• Diversity of key catabolic genes at degradation of phenol and p-cresol in pseudomonads (2010, background): “Although some of these compounds are recalcitrant or toxic for the vast majority of the microorganisms, bacteria usually have evolved biochemical and genetic information that allows them to use aromatic compounds as sole carbon and energy sources (Widdel and Rabus, 2001; Lovely, 2003).”
• Biological activity in the deep subsurface and the origin of heavy oil (2003, background): “In addition, viable anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation processes have recently been established for both saturated and aromatic hydrocarbon”
