Néanmoins, un certain nombre de bactéries marines, appartenant au groupe des bactéries hydrocarbonoclastes (HCB), sont capables d'utiliser ces composés comme source de carbone et d'énergie, grâce à la mise en place de fonctions cellulaires spécifiques permettant d'augmenter la fraction assimilable de [composés organiques hydrophobes]. 1, record 1, French, - bact%C3%A9rie%20hydrocarbonoclaste

The predominant genus identified in... tar sands was Arthrobacter, followed by Dietzia, Janibacter, Nocardioides, Microbacterium... Most of these genera have also been previously shown to degrade aromatic hydrocarbons, indicating that tar sands are a very active repository of hydrocarbonoclastic microorganisms. 2, record 2, English, - hydrocarbonoclastic

Il est aujourd'hui clairement reconnu que la biodégradation microbienne par les communautés hétérotrophes indigènes, plus précisément par les microorganismes hydrocarbonoclastes aptes à utiliser les hydrocarbures comme source de carbone, représente la voie principale d'élimination des hydrocarbures dans l'environnement. 1, record 2, French, - hydrocarbonoclaste
