Microbial degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons plays a vital role in mitigating petroleum contamination and heavy oil extraction. In this study, a capable of degrading hexadecane has been successfully engineered, achieving a maximum degradation rate of up to 20.42%. However, the degradation ability...
