Hydrocarbon degradation by a newly isolated thermophilic Anoxybacillus sp. with bioemulsifier production and new alkB genes

Abstract

In this work, a new thermophilic bacterial strain was isolated and identified asAnoxybacillussp. WJ-4. This strain of WJ-4 can degrade a wide range of hydrocarbons, and production of an oligosaccharide–lipid–peptide bioemulsifier was detected.
