Bacteria-oil microaggregates are an important mechanism for hydrocarbon degradation in the marine water column

Following oil spills in aquatic environments, oil-associated flocculants observed within contaminated waters ultimately lead to the sedimentation of oil as marine oil snow (MOS). To better understand the role of aggregates in hydrocarbon degradation and transport, we experimentally produced a MOS se...
