Hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria in deep-water subarctic sediments (Faroe-Shetland Channel).

The aim of this study was the baseline description of oil-degrading sediment bacteria along a depth transect in the Faroe-Shetland Channel (FSC) and the identification of biomarker taxa for the detection of oil contamination in FSC sediments.
