High hydrostatic pressure stimulates n-C16 mineralization to CO2 by deep-ocean bacterium Alcanivorax xenomutans A28
Abstract Medium-chain alkanes have strong ecological impacts on marine ecosystems due to their persistence, toxicity, and ability to travel long distances. Microbial degradation is the dominant and ultimate removal process for n-alkanes in the deep ocean, where high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) regula...
