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...

Oil-related aggregates (ORAs) may result from interactions between chemically dispersed oil and particles (both biological and mineral) and have received considerable attention since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. In  a 3-year project we will investigate the relationship between chemically di...

Oil biodegradation studies have mainly focused on microbial processes in dispersions, not specifically on the interfaces between the oil and the seawater in the dispersions. In this study, a hydrophobic adsorbent system, consisting of Fluortex fabrics, was used to investigate biodegradation of n-alk...

Målet med forsøket var å dokumentere bakteriesammensetningen i copepoder som dyrkes opp hos kundene til C-Feed. Fordi ulike vannkvaliteter er vist å gi ulik bakteriesammensetning i levendefôr, var det et mål å se om ulik vannbehandling gav copepoder med ulikt bakte...

Chemical dispersants are well-established as oil spill response tools. Several studies have emphasized their positive effects on oil biodegradation, but recent studies have claimed that dispersants may actually inhibit the oil biodegradation process. In this study, biodegradation of oil dispersions ...
