Effects of Petroleum Releases on Bacterial Numbers and Microheterotrophic Activity in the Water and Sediment of an Arctic Marine Ecosystem
The effects of petroleum slick and chemically dispersed petroleum on bacterial numbers and microheterotrophic activity (uptake of glutamic acid by heterotrophic microorganisms) were monitored in the water column and sediments of selected bays at Cape Hatt, Northwest Territories. Observations were ma...
