Alcanivorax, first described in 1998, is a Gram-negative, halophilic, aerobic, rod-shaped, oil-degrading marine bacterium that is found in low abundances in unpolluted environments in the upper layers of the ocean, but quickly becomes the predominant microbe in oil-contaminated open oceans and coastal waters when nitrogen and phosphorus are not limiting.
