Whole genome sequence of petroleum hydrocarbon degrading novel strain Microbacter sp. EMBS2025 isolated from Chilika Lake, Odisha, India.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Bioremediation offers a sustainable and eco-friendly approach for addressing petroleum contamination. In this study, we investigated the hydrocarbon-degrading potential of Microbacter sp. EMBS2025, a strain previously isolated and characterized for its biosurfactant-producing capabilities. The strain was cultivated using varying concentrations of crude oil as the sole carbon source, where it demonstrated robust growth and efficient degradation of both alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Whole-genome sequencing was performed using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform, yielding approximately 33.4 million high-quality reads with a sequencing depth (~ 1482 ×). The assembled genome spans 3.52 Mb and comprises 3237 coding sequences (CDS), 19 miscellaneous RNAs, 3 rRNAs, 51 tRNAs, and 1 tmRNA. The genome assembly achieved 100% completeness, providing a fully reconstructed genome. Functional annotation revealed a metabolically versatile profile, including key genes involved in biosurfactant synthesis (ppsC, treS, treY, mmpL3, otsA, and rhlG_1/rhlG_2) and hydrocarbon degradation (alkB, sadH, yghA, nuo, gap, BVMO, cat, pca, and ben), highlighting its strong oxidation potential. Orthogroup analysis identified unique orthologous groups within the strain, while Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) analysis suggests that Microbacter sp. EMBS2025 may represent a novel species within the Microbacterium genus. Variant annotation revealed a genome enriched with high-impact variants, with SNPs accounting for 66-68% of the total. The demonstrated bioremediation potential of Microbacter sp. EMBS2025 offers a sustainable solution for oil pollution, contributing to cleaner environments, reduced health risks, and enhanced water quality. The application of this strain in oil-contaminated environments holds significant promise for protecting public health by reducing toxic exposure risks, restoring clean water sources, and supporting agricultural and economic activities in affected communities.
