Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacteria and the Bacterial Community Response in Gulf of Mexico Beach Sands Impacted by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

TL;DR: It is concluded that oil contamination from the DH spill had a profound impact on the abundance and community composition of indigenous bacteria in Gulf beach sands, and evidence points to members of the Gammaproteobacteria (Alcanivorax, Marinobacter) and AlphaproteOBacteria (Rhodobacteraceae) as key players in oil degradation there.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oil Biodegradation and Bioremediation: A Tale of the Two Worst Spills in U.S. History

TL;DR: These oil degrading indigenous microorganisms played a significant role in reducing the overall environmental impact of both the Exxon Valdez and BP Deepwater Horizon oil spills.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stochasticity, succession, and environmental perturbations in a fluidic ecosystem

TL;DR: This study shows that the succession of groundwater microbial communities in response to nutrient amendment is primarily stochastic, but that the drivers controlling biodiversity and succession are dynamic rather than static, and identifies the mechanisms controlling microbial community assembly and succession.
