Abstract
Cycloclasticus is a genus of marine bacteria that specializes in the aerobic breakdown of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds including naphthalene, phenanthrene, and pyrene. This bacterial genus contains a single validly described species, Cycloclasticus pugetii. Cycloclasticus is recognized as the predominant genus of PAH-degrading bacteria in many marine sediments. Cycloclasticus strains are widely distributed in marine sediments in contaminated coastal areas as well as in deep-sea mid-oceanic sediments of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
