Abstract:Hydrocarbon degrading bacteria (HDB) were monitored since 2006 to 2018 at the Permanent Environmental Studies Station (EPEA), in order to analyze its abundance and the potentiality to metabolize these pollutants. The presence of HDB was detected with counts values ranging between 103 and 105 UFC ml-1. A slight increase was observed over time, which could be linked to changes in marine temperature reported within the last years. Thirty-six HDB were tested for growth on various hydrocarbons and some of them show… Show more
