Response and oil degradation activities of a northeast Atlantic bacterial community to biogenic and synthetic surfactants

Response and oil degradation activities of a northeast Atlantic bacterial community to biogenic and synthetic surfactants

Abstract Background Biosurfactants are naturally derived products that play a similar role to synthetic dispersants in oil spill response but are easily biodegradable and less toxic. Using a combination of analytical chemistry, 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and simulation-based approaches, this study...
