Long-term patterns of ultra-low sulfur fuel oil bioremediation in Arctic shorelines using in situ mesocosms

This study evaluates the long-term biodegradation of ultra-low sulfur fuel oils in Arctic shorelines using mesocosm experiments, finding that lighter fuel degrades more effectively and alters microbial community composition.

From Northwest Passage shores to molecular pathways: Comparative transcriptomic responses of a novel Arctic marine fuel-degrading Flavobacterium species

This study identifies a Flavobacterium species capable of degrading marine fuel without canonical alkB genes, revealing alternative metabolic pathways in Arctic environments.

Transcriptomic analyses unveil hydrocarbon degradation mechanisms in a novel polar Rhodococcus sp. strain R1B_2T from a high Arctic intertidal zone exposed to ultra-low sulfur fuel oil.

This study identifies hydrocarbon degradation mechanisms in a novel Arctic Rhodococcus strain using transcriptomics, revealing gene expression patterns and synergistic pathways for oil spill remediation.
