Fortunately, unlike higher organisms that are adversely impacted by oil spills, microorganisms are able to consume petroleum hydrocarbons. These oil degrading indigenous microorganisms played a significant role in reducing the overall environmental impact of both the Exxon Valdez and BP Deepwater Horizon oil spills. 8 pp. LOMv1.0 creator LOMv1.0 Project Final Beneficiary LOMv1.0 Project Executing Organisation 2011-06 LOMv1.0 training LOMv1.0 higher education 18+ Digital Library of the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning" abstract types Text Sea contamination Oil spills Biodegradation Petroleum hydrocarbons Dispersed oil 5087311 application/pdf http://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/2316/2/2316_Petrol%20Sea%20Contamination%20and%20Bioremediation.pdf Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλίας.
