Characterization of hydrocarbon-degrading microbial populations in contaminated and pristine Alpine soils.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Jun 2003

Margesin R, Labbé D, Schinner F, Greer C W, Whyte L G

Abstract excerpt

Biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in cold environments, including Alpine soils, is a result of indigenous cold-adapted microorganisms able to degrade these contaminants. In the present study, the prevalence of seven genotypes involved in the degradation of n-alkanes (Pseudomonas putida GPo1 alkB; Acinetobacter spp. alkM; Rhodococcus spp. alkB1, and Rhodococcus spp. alkB2), aromatic hydrocarbons (P. putida...
