Vertical heterogeneity of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria in a core sediment sample from the Central Indian Ridge
Hydrocarbons are ubiquitous in marine environments and might fuel hydrocarbon-metabolizing microbes in the ocean. Numerous studies have documented microbial hydrocarbon degradation in water columns and deep-sea surface sediment. However, the degradation potential and biogeochemical cycling of hydroc...
