Degradation of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil [PDF]
, 2011 Chemical oil dispersants are proprietary mixtures of surfactants and solvents which are directly applied to a spill in order to reduce the natural attractive forces of the oil. When oil treated with dispersants is exposed to mixing energy, typically from

Validation of picogram- and femtogram-input DNA libraries for microscale metagenomics [PDF]
, 2016 © 2016 Rinke et al. High-throughput sequencing libraries are typically limited by the requirement for nanograms to micrograms of input DNA. This bottleneck impedes the microscale analysis of ecosystems and the exploration of low biomass samples.

Dominance of a clonal green sulfur bacterial population in a stratified lake [PDF]
, 2017 For many years, the chemocline of the meromictic Lake Cadagno, Switzerland, was dominated by purple sulfur bacteria. However, following a major community shift in recent years, green sulfur bacteria (GSB) have come to dominate.

The influence of aggregate size fraction and horizon position on microbial community composition [PDF]
, 2018 peer-reviewedThe influence of horizon position and aggregate size on bacterial and fungal community composition was determined. From nine sites, soils were collected from the top three horizon positions (H1, H2 and H3).

Wastewater-borne pollutants influenced antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements in the soil without affecting the bacterial community composition in a changing wastewater irrigation system [PDF]
Over decades, untreated wastewater from México City was used to irrigate crops in the Mezquital Valley. With the construction of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), irrigation was replaced by WWTP effluent.
