Microbial degradation of hydrocarbons in the environment.
J G Leahy,Rita R. Colwell +1 more
TL;DR: Rates of biodegradation depend greatly on the composition, state, and concentration of the oil or hydrocarbons, with dispersion and emulsification enhancing rates in aquatic systems and absorption by soil particulates being the key feature of terrestrial ecosystems.
