16S ribosomal RNA gene clones identified as belonging to the genus '' Oleispira '' were found to be very commonly occurring in samples obtained from deep underwater depths at the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 . '' Oleispira antarctica '' in particular is a cold marine dwelling species so this species could be applied as part of a bioremediation toolbox of organisms that can work to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons pollutants at , for example , different temperature ranges in different environments
