Self‐healing capacity of deep‐sea ecosystems affected by petroleum hydrocarbons: Understanding microbial oil degradation at hydrocarbon seeps is key to sustainable bioremediation protocols

A rich microbiota in the deep‐sea oceans has evolved to live off petroleum from natural oil seeps. Understanding their ecology and biology could inform measures for sustainable bioremediation of artificial oil spills. [Image: see text]
