Hydrocarbon Degraders: Hydrocarboniphaga bacteria are hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, meaning they have the capability to break down and utilize hydrocarbons as a source of energy. They play a role in the natural attenuation of environments contaminated with oil or petroleum.
Environmental Distribution: Members of the genus Hydrocarboniphaga are commonly found in oil-contaminated environments such as oilfields, oil spills, and areas with high levels of petroleum hydrocarbons.
Bioremediation Potential: The ability of Hydrocarboniphaga bacteria to degrade hydrocarbons has potential applications in bioremediation processes. Bioremediation involves the use of microorganisms to break down and remove pollutants from the environment.
Limited Information on Human Health: As of my last update, there is limited specific information on the direct health impacts of Hydrocarboniphaga in humans. The focus of research on this genus is often more oriented toward its ecological and metabolic characteristics in hydrocarbon-contaminated environments.
Non-Pathogenic: Hydrocarboniphaga bacteria are not typically associated with causing diseases in humans. Instead, they are more recognized for their role in environmental processes.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
