Use of null models to compare the assembly of northeast Atlantic bacterial community in the presence of crude oil with either chemical dispersant or biosurfactant

This study uses null models to compare bacterial community assembly in oil-polluted marine microcosms with different dispersant treatments, finding that chemical dispersants alter assembly dynamics compared to oil-only or biosurfactant treatments.
