TL;DR: Most of the world's oil was biodegraded under anaerobic conditions, with methane, a valuable commodity, often being a major by-product, which suggests alternative approaches to recovering the world' vast heavy oil resource that otherwise will remain largely unproduced.

TL;DR: The extent and rate of oil degradation were similar for all microcosms, indicating that, in this experiment, it was the addition of inorganic nutrients rather than the precise amount that was most important operationally, rather than N and P limited degradation over the concentration range tested.

TL;DR: Analysis of the degradation of buried oil on a shoreline over a period of almost 1 year showed that although significant hydrocarbon degradation occurred both in plots treating with oil alone and in the plots treated with oil and liquid fertilizer, the bacterial community structure in these plots was, in general, not significantly different from that in the control plots and did not change over time.

TL;DR: In this article, the catagenic decomposition of methyltrimethyltridecylchromans (MTTCs) derived during diagenesis from condensation reactions between chlorophyll and alkylphenols was investigated.

TL;DR: Fundamental kinetic parameters (Ks and qmax) for nitrate- and phosphate-stimulated crude oil biodegradation under nutrient limited conditions and with respect to crude oil, under conditions where N and P are not limiting are reported.
