Effects of temperature and biostimulation on oil‐degrading microbial communities in temperate estuarine waters
Open accessAbstract
Summary: Improved strategies for oil‐spill remediation will follow a better understanding of the nature, activities and regulating parameters of petroleum hydrocarbon‐degrading microbial communities in temperate marine environments. The addition of crude oil to estuarine water resulted in an immediate change in bacterial community structure, increased abundance of hydrocarbon‐degrading microorganisms and a rapid rate of oil degradation, suggesting the presence of a pre‐adapted oil‐degrading microbial community and sufficient supply of nutrients. Relatively rapid degradation was found at 4°C, the lowest temperature tested; and it was temperature rather than nutrient addition that most influenced the community structure. A detailed phylogenetic analysis of oil‐degrading microcosms showed that known hydrocarbonoclastic organisms like Thalassolituus and Cycloclasticus , as well as proposed oil degraders like Roseobacter , were present at both 4°C and 20°C, demonstrating the thermo‐versatility of such organisms. Clones related to Oleispira antarctica (98% 16S rRNA similarity), a psychrophilic alkane degrader, were dominant in the 4°C oil‐degrading community, whereas other clones constituting a different clade and showing 94% similarity 16S rRNA with O. antarctica were found in situ. These findings demonstrate the potential for intrinsic bioremediation throughout the course of the year in temperate estuarine waters, and highlight the importance of both versatile psychrotolerant and specialized psychrophilic hydrocarbon‐degrading microbes in effecting this process at low temperatures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
