Microbial Functional Responses in Marine Biofilms Exposed to Deepwater Horizon Spill Contaminants

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Marine biofilms are essential biological components that transform built structures into artificial reefs. Anthropogenic contaminants released into the marine environment, such as crude oil and chemical dispersant from an oil spill, may disrupt the ...

Stress response of the black coral Leiopathes glaberrima when exposed to sub-lethal amounts of crude oil and dispersant

Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2017
The 2010 Deep Water Horizon oil well failure released billions of gallons of crude oil into the deep Gulf of Mexico, and, combined with chemical dispersants, this oil caused significant coral mortality.
