Oil biodegradation and marine oil snow formation in Arctic seawater microcosms at 4 °C

Thamali Vidanage, Durell Desmond, Dustin Isleifson, Gary Stern, R. Eric Collins

The paper investigates oil biodegradation and marine oil snow formation in Arctic seawater microcosms at 4°C, finding that Pseudomonas and Pseudoalteromonas dominate oil degradation, and UV weathering significantly affects PAHs.
