Monitoring of alkane-degrading bacteria in a sea-water microcosm during crude oil degradation by polymerase chain reaction based on alkane-catabolic genes

Summary Behaviour of microbial populations responsible for degrading n‐alkanes, a major component of crude oil, was monitored during crude oil degradation in a sea‐water microcosm by both traditional colony culturing and molecular techniques. A DNA extraction method applicable to crude oil‐amended s...
