Petroleum Degradation By Naturally Occurring Populations Of Marine Bacteria From Middle Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf Waters, Alexander Maccubbin Jan 1980

Petroleum Degradation By Naturally Occurring Populations Of Marine Bacteria From Middle Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf Waters, Alexander Maccubbin

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Bacterial populations indigenous to surface (1 m) waters of the Middle Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf were sampled at seasonal intervals to determine the abundance and distribution of petroleum-degrading (HC) and "total" heterotrophic (HET) bacteria. Simultaneously, unweathered South Louisiana crude oil (SLCO) was added to aliquots of surface water samples to evaluate rates and patterns of degradation of hydrocarbon. Degradation was studied using selected nutrient and temperature regimes in both closed flask and prototype "open" or continuous dilution systems. HET bacterial levels generally decreased with distance from land (x inshore = 6 x 10('4) MPN/ml to x offshore = 6 x …
