Abstract

Unplanned oil spills during offshore production are a serious problem for the industry and the marine environment. Here, we present the genome sequence analysis of three novel hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, namely, "Candidatus Colwellia aromaticivorans" sp. nov., "Candidatus Halocyntiibacter alkanivorans" sp. nov., and "Candidatus Ulvibacter alkanivorans" sp. nov.
