Recent adavnces in petroleum microbiology
Article Abstract:
The new molecular techniques have enhanced the ability to investigate the dynamics of microbial communities in petroleum-impacted ecosystems, is revealed. It reveals that enzymes are being exploited to produce added-value products from petroleum substrates, and bacterial biosensors are being used to analyze petroleum-contaminated environments.

Quantifying microbial utilization of petroleum hydrocarbons in salt marsh sediments by using the [super 13]C content of bacterial rRNA
Article Abstract:
A whole-community approach is used for examined bacterial incorporation of petroleum hydrocarbons from a simulated oil spill. The magnetic bead capture approach is used for quantifying uptake of petroleum hydrocarbons by microbes in situ and it can also be used with genus-level specificity.

Bacterial community dynamics and hydrocarbon degradation during a field-scale evaluation of bioremediation on a mudflat beach contaminated with buried oil
Article Abstract:
A field-scale experiment with a complete randomized block design was performed to study the degradation of buried oil on a shoreline over a period of almost 1year.
