A decade after environmental scientists integrated high‐throughput sequencing
technologies in their toolbox, the genomics‐based monitoring of anthropogenic impacts on …

Abstract Heavy metals (HMs) like Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cd, and Hg, among others, play a role in
several environmental problems. The marine environment is polluted by several …

The need to understand the biodegradation of oil and chemical dispersants in Arctic marine
environments is increasing alongside growth in oil exploration and transport in the region …

Background This study investigates a comparative multivariate approach for studying the
biodegradation of chemically dispersed oil. The rationale for this approach lies in the …

Environmental DNA sequencing is the gold standard to reveal microbial community
structures. In most applications, a one‐fragment PCR approach is applied to amplify a …

Oil spilled in marine environments can settle to the seafloor through aggregation and
sedimentation processes. This has been predicted to be especially relevant in the Arctic due …

MicrogAMBI is a bacterial community-based index, recently developed to assess the
ecological status of marine systems. The easy access to High Throughput Sequencing …

Biodegradation of chemically dispersed oil at low temperature (0–2° C) was compared in
natural seawater from Arctic (Svalbard) and a temperate (Norway) fjords. The oil was …

As ice extent in the Arctic is declining, oil and gas activities will increase, with higher risk of
oil spills to the marine environment. To determine biotransformation of dispersed weathered …

Over the past decade, an abundance of 16S rRNA gene surveys have provided
microbiologists with data regarding the prokaryotes present in a coral-associated microbial …
