The aim of this work was to determine the effect of light crude oil on bacterial communities
during an experimental oil spill in the N orth S ea and in mesocosms (simulating a heavy …

The results of marine bacterial community succession from a short-term study of seawater
incubations at 4 C to North Sea crude oil are presented herein. Oil was used alone (O) or in …

Bacterial communities inhabiting coastal sediments are subjected to oil spills. In order to
examine the early structural response of a complex bacterial community to oil pollution, a …

A field bioremediation assay using the oleophilic fertilizer S200 was carried out 12 months
after the Prestige heavy fuel-oil spill on a beach on the Cantabrian coast (north Spain). This …

The accident of the Prestige oil tanker in 2002 contaminated approximately 900 km of the
coastline along the northern Spanish shore, as well as parts of Portugal and France coast …

The D eepwater H orizon (DWH) accident in 2010 created a deepwater plume of small oil
droplets from a deepwater well in the M ississippi C anyon lease block 252 ('M acondo oil') …

A laboratory experiment was conducted to identify key hydrocarbon degraders from a
marine oil spill sample (Prestige fuel oil), to ascertain their role in the degradation of different …

The bacterial diversity of a chronically oil-polluted retention basin sediment located in the
Berre lagoon (Etang-de-Berre, France) was investigated. This study combines chemical and …

The effects of spilled oil on sedimentary bacterial communities were examined in situ at 20
m water depth in a Mediterranean coastal area. Sediment collected at an experimental site …

The Caspian Sea, which is the largest landlocked body of water on the planet, receives
substantial annual hydrocarbon input from anthropogenic sources (eg, industry, agriculture …
