=== Oil-based, hazardous pollutants in Arctic regions ===
[[Psychrophile|Psychrophilic]] microbes metabolize hydrocarbons which assists in the remediation of hazardous, oil-based pollutants in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. These specific microbes are used in this region due to their ability to perform their functions at extremely cold temperatures.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Chaudhary |first1=Dhiraj Kumar |last2=Kim |first2=Dong-Uk |last3=Kim |first3=Dockyu |last4=Kim |first4=Jaisoo |date=2019-03-11 |title=Flavobacterium petrolei sp. nov., a novel psychrophilic, diesel-degrading bacterium isolated from oil-contaminated Arctic soil|journal=Scientific Reports |language=en |volume=9 |issue=1 |pages=4134 |doi=10.1038/s41598-019-40667-7 |pmid=30858439 |bibcode=2019NatSR...9.4134C |issn=2045-2322|pmc=6411956 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Wackett |first=Lawrence P. |date=May 2012 |title=Bioremediation of oil spills: An annotated selection of World Wide Web sites relevant to the topics in Microbial Biotechnology |journal=Microbial Biotechnology |language=en |volume=5 |issue=3 |pages=450–451 |doi=10.1111/j.1751-7915.2011.00330.x |issn=1751-7915 |pmc=3821688}}</ref>
