Response of microorganisms to hot crude oil spills on a sub-Arctic taiga soil. Arctic 31
ABSTRACT. This study was conducted on the short-term effects of seasonal spills of hot Prudhoe Bay crude oil on microorganisms in a taiga soil in interior Alaska. Following a winter spill, the filamentous fungal populations were inhibited whereas the heterotrophic bacterial populations were stimulat...
