Genomic and metatranscriptomic analyses reveal an active microbial hydrocarbon cycle in the photic zone

2025-10-24

Abstract excerpt

Natural hydrocarbon seeps and hydrocarbons resulting from human activities are the primary conduits by which oil enters the sea. Marine Cyanobacteria, among the most abundant photosynthetic organisms in the world, produce alkanes, an additional hydrocarbon source to the sea. Alkane production proceeds via metabolism of fatty acid intermediates with a fatty acyl-ACP reductase (FAAR) and an aldehyde-deformylating ox...
