Isolation and characterization of novel bacteria degrading polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from polluted Greek soils.
TL;DR: This is the first report of a representative of the genus Paracoccus capable of degrading PAHs with such versatility, and these three strains may be useful for bioremediation applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated soil at laboratory scale, using three different approaches: biostimulation of indigenous microorganisms, bio-augmentation by inoculation with free cells of petroleum degrading Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain Spet, and a variation of the second approach, in which inoculation of encapsulated cells in starch and sodium alginate of P. aerugINSA strain SPet was applied.

Taxonomic identification, phenanthrene uptake activity, and membrane lipid alterations of the PAH degrading Arthrobacter sp. strain Sphe3.
TL;DR: Evidence provided here indicates that apart from inducing an active PAH uptake, the presence of phenanthrene elicits significant changes in membrane fluidity.

TL;DR: The deduced protein (AmyH) showed a high degree of homology to a proposed family of α-amylases consisting of enzymes from Alteromonas, Thermomonospora curvata, streptomycetes, insects and mammals, indicating that members of the genus Halomonas are good candidates for use as cell factories to produce heterologous extracellular enzymes.
