Field-Testing Bioremediation Treating Agents: Lessons From and Experimental Shoreline Oil Spill

摘要

A 14-week, large-scale field study in Delaware demonstrated that, on a moderately exposed sandy beach, nutrients, not oil-degrading microorganisms, were the primary factors limitting bidegradation. The results are reviewed in the context of lesons and guidelines for a full-scale bioremediation response.
