Diversity and abundance of <i>n</i>-alkane-degrading bacteria in the near-surface soils of a Chinese onshore oil and gas field
Alkane-degrading bacteria have long been used as an important biological indicator for oil and gas prospecting, but their ecological characteristics in hydrocarbon microseep habitats are still poorly understood. In this study, the diversity and abundance of <i>n</i>-alkane-degrading bact...
