Hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria are phylogenetically and physiologically diverse and employ layered strategies to sense hydrocarbons, respond transcriptionally, and then move toward an oil source. They then produce biopolymers that increase hydrocarbon bioavailability. This SnapShot highlights how these bacteria respond to and then remove hydrocarbon contaminants from the environment.

烃类降解细菌在系统发育和生理上具有多样性,并采用分层策略来感知烃类物质,进行转录响应,然后向油源移动。然后,它们会产生生物聚合物,从而增加烃类物质的生物利用度。这个 SnapShot 重点介绍了这些细菌如何对环境中的烃类污染物做出响应并加以清除。要查看此 SnapShot,请打开或下载 PDF。
