Adaptation mechanisms of Alcanivorax facilitating its predominance in marine environments by Zhen Chen, Zhen Chen, Zhen Chen, Shizheng Xiang, Shizheng Xiang, Shizheng Xiang, Yao Lu, Yao Lu, Yao Lu, Qiliang Lai, Qiliang Lai, Qiliang Lai, Chunming Dong, Chunming Dong, Chunming Dong, Jianyang Li, Jianyang Li, Jianyang Li, Guizhen Li, Guizhen Li, Guizhen Li, Zongze Shao, Zongze Shao, Zongze Shao

“…However, Alcanivorax bacteria perform sulfide detoxification through Sqr rather than by gaining energy via sulfide oxidation Although no strain was confirmed to be chemoautotrophs, we discovered that the two clades, A. xenomutans and A. profundimaris, can grow under conditions with very low organic matter.DiscussionThe ability to utilize inorganic compounds as a supplementary energy source and adapt to carbon oligotrophic growth may contribute to the prevalence of Alcanivorax in marine ecosystems.…”
