Biodegradation of selected hydrocarbons by novel bacterial strains isolated from contaminated Arabian Gulf sediment

Abstract Three strains of novel bacteria were isolated from oil-contaminated sediment from the Arabian Gulf (Brevibacillus brevis T2C2008, Proteus mirabilis T2A12001, and Rhodococcus quinshengi TA13008). The isolated strains were tested for their degrading efficacy of low and high molecular hydrocar...
