Functional and Genomic Characterization of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain Isolated From the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico Reveals an Enhanced Adaptation for Long-Chain Alkane Degradation

Functional and Genomic Characterization of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain Isolated From the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico Reveals an Enhanced Adaptation for Long-Chain Alkane Degradation

Indigenous bacterial populations play an important role in the restoration of crude oil-polluted marine environments. The identification and characterization of these bacteria are key in defining bioremediation strategies for the mitigation of possible future oil spills. In this work, we characteriz...
