Oil-degrading capabilities of yeasts and fungi isolated from coastal marine environments
Seventy-four yeasts and 224 fungi were isolated from marine water and sediment samples taken from the Strait of Juan de Fuca and northern Puget Sound. When these isolates were grown in the presence of Prudhoe Bay crude oil, only three yeasts and 63 fungi were able to degrade some or all of the n-alk...
