Marine snow (MS) forms naturally in the ocean and consists of living and non-living particles, involving mucus-producing phytoplankton and bacteria, detritus, faeces from zooplankton and fish and inorganic particles. In the context of oil spills, MS received attention as a possible source of oil sed...

To understand the impact of oil contamination on marine microbial communities, numerous studies have been conducted following microbial dynamics after oil spills and concerning the effects of different environmental parameters on oil biodegradation potential. Nevertheless, there is a lack of underst...

Background This study investigates a comparative multivariate approach for studying the biodegradation of chemically dispersed oil. The rationale for this approach lies in the inherent complexity of the data and challenges associated with comparing multiple experiments with inconsistent sampling poi...
