Bioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Seawater: Prospects of Using Lyophilized Native Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacteria
This work aimed to develop a bioremediation product of lyophilized native bacteria to respond to marine oil spills. Three oil-degrading bacterial strains (two strains of <i>Rhodococcus erythropolis</i> and one <i>Pseudomonas</i> sp.), isolated from the NW Portuguese coast, we...

This work aimed to develop a bioremediation product of lyophilized native bacteria to respond to marine oil spills.
