“…The modification in the inlet load (FB_LC II) affected the bacterial population that was still dominated by Phyllobacteriaceae members (9.8%) and Hydrogenophaga members (7.0%), although members of the order Pirellulales (8.3%) and the genera Hyphomicrobium (7.8%) and Dokdonella (6.9%) increased their abundance by 8-6%. Hydrogenophaga, Hyphomicrobium and Dokdonella have been linked before to the treatment of alkanes and also of complex hydrocarbons (Pascual et al, 2020;Rojas-Gätjens et al, 2020). Moreover, it has been recently discovered that members of the family Phyllobacteriaceae have the necessary genes for the metabolism of complex alkanes (Wang et al, 2021).…”
