Putative biosurfactants from polar microbial consortia

Thamali Vidanage, Durell Desmond, R. Eric Collins

This study identifies biosurfactant-producing microbial consortia from marine oil snow in western Hudson Bay and finds higher biosurfactant yields at lower temperatures.

Prokaryotic Community Structures in the Bering and Chukchi Seas

Rei Shibue, R. Eric Collins

The paper characterizes bacterial communities in the Bering and Chukchi Seas using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, finding that water mass, salinity, and bloom stage shape community structure.

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.
