Biodegradation of Macondo oil by aerobic hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria in the water column and deepsea sediments of the northern Gulf of Mexico
Previous studies have come to contrasting conclusions regarding nutrient limitation of hydrocarbon biodegradation in the Gulf of Mexico, and rate measurements are needed to support oil plume modeling. Thus, this study investigates the rates and controls of biodegradation in seawater and sediments, l...
