Article Synopsis
- Hydrocarbons are significant environmental pollutants, and finding new microorganisms that can break them down is crucial for effective biodegradation.
- Researchers isolated several bacterial strains from compost, specifically targeting those that can degrade n-hexadecane, identifying six isolates as members of the Gordonia genus.
- Two selected strains, Gordonia paraffinivorans and Gordonia sihwensis, demonstrated impressive degradation rates and unique gene clusters involved in hydrocarbon degradation, highlighting their potential for biotransformation of harmful pollutants.
