| Abstract: | Background, aim, and scope Due to the active production and transport of crude oil in the Arabian Gulf region, the Arabian Gulf coasts are routinely
polluted with oil. Therefore, such coasts have been subject of studies aiming at assessing the roles of indigenous microbial
consortia in cleaning these environments. In the present study, epilithic microbial communities along Kuwait coasts were studied
for their oil degradation potential. |
