The complexity of crude oil composition, combined with the fluctuating oxygen level in contaminated environments, poses challenges for bioremediation pollutants, because compound-specific microbial degradation petroleum hydrocarbons under certain conditions. As a result, facultative bacteria capable breaking down both aerobic and anaerobic conditions are presumably effective, however, this hypothesis has not been directly tested. In current investigation,
