Biodegradation potential of the genus Rhodococcus.
TL;DR: The large genomes of rhodococci, their redundant and versatile catabolic pathways, their ability to uptake and metabolize hydrophobic compounds, to form biofilms, to persist in adverse conditions and the availability of recently developed tools for genetic engineering in r Rhodococci make them suitable industrial microorganisms for biotransformations and the biodegradation of many organic compounds.

Bacteria-mediated PAH degradation in soil and sediment.
TL;DR: This review aims to discuss PAH degradation under various redox potential conditions, the factors affecting the biodegradation rates, degrading bacteria, the relevant genes in molecular monitoring methods, and some recent-year bioremediation field studies.

Biodegradation of naphthalene by strain Bacillus fusiformis (BFN).
Chen Lin,Li Gan,Zuliang Chen +2 more
TL;DR: Given these metabolites are water-soluble and non-toxic, the findings suggest a potential bioremediation role of Bacillus fusiformis (BFN) in the removal of naphthalene from wastewaters.

Role of oxygenases in guiding diverse metabolic pathways in the bacterial degradation of low-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: a review.
TL;DR: The present review of bacterial degradation of low-molecular-weight (LMW) PAHs describes the current knowledge about the diverse metabolic pathways depicting novel metabolites, enzyme-substrate/metabolite relationships, the role of oxygenases and their distribution in phylogenetically diverse bacterial species.

Aerobic bacteria degrading both n -alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons: an undervalued strategy for metabolic diversity and flexibility
Joanna Brzeszcz,Paweł Kaszycki +1 more
TL;DR: The study proves that the co-occurrence of genes responsible for concomitant metabolic bioconversion reactions of structurally-diverse hydrocarbons is not unique among various systematic groups.
