Diverse Bacterial Groups Contribute to the Alkane Degradation Potential of Chronically Polluted Subantarctic Coastal Sediments
(Springer, 2016-01)
We aimed to gain insight into the alkane degradation potential of microbial communities from chronically polluted sediments of a subantarctic coastal environment using a combination of metagenomic approaches. A total of ...
Oily Bilge Wastes Harbor a Set of Persistent Hydrocarbonoclastic Bacteria Accompanied by a Variable alkB Gene Composition in Marine Vessel Samples from Southwestern Atlantic Port of Mar del Plata, Argentina
(Springer, 2021-07)
The present work provides the first knowledge about the diversity and functionality of the microorganisms occurring in oily bilge wastes, from the port of Mar del Plata, Argentina. We used a culture independent approach, ...
New alk genes detected in Antarctic marine sediments
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
Alkane monooxygenases (Alk) are the key enzymes for alkane degradation. In order to understand the dispersion and diversity of alk genes in Antarctic marine environments, this study analysed by clone libraries the presence ...
Insights into Hydrocarbon Assimilation by Eurotialean and Hypocrealean Fungi: Roles for CYP52 and CYP53 Clans of Cytochrome P450 Genes
(Humana Press, 2017-09)
Several filamentous fungi are able to concomitantly assimilate both aliphatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that are the biogenic by-products of some industrial processes. Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases catalyze the ...
Targeting of insect epicuticular lipids by entomopathogenic fungi: hydrocarbon oxidation within the context of a host-pathogen interaction
(Frontiers Media S. A, 2013-02-15)
Broad host range entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana attack insect hosts via attachment to cuticular substrata and the production of enzymes for the degradation and penetration of insect cuticle. The outermost ...
Methylotrophs and Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacteria Are Key Players in the Microbial Community of an Abandoned Century-Old Oil Exploration Well
(2021-04-17)
In this work, we studied the microbial community and the physicochemical conditions prevailing in an exploratory oil well, abandoned a century ago, located in the Cahuita National Park (Costa Rica). According to our analysis, ...
