Resistance and resilience of benthic biofilm communities from a temperate saltmarsh to desiccation and rewettingBoyd A McKew
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, UK
ISME J 5:30-41. 2011..A temporal sequence of effects of desiccation and rewetting were thus observed, but the most notable feature was the overall resistance and resilience of the microbial community...
Determining the identity and roles of oil-metabolizing marine bacteria from the Thames estuary, UKBoyd A McKew
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester CO4 3SQ, UK
Environ Microbiol 9:165-76. 2007....
Efficacy of intervention strategies for bioremediation of crude oil in marine systems and effects on indigenous hydrocarbonoclastic bacteriaBoyd A McKew
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester CO4 3SQ, UK
Environ Microbiol 9:1562-71. 2007..In addition to providing insight into the factors limiting oil biodegradation over time, and the competition and synergism between HCB, these results add weight to the use of bioaugmentation in oil pollution mitigation strategies...
Effects of temperature and biostimulation on oil-degrading microbial communities in temperate estuarine watersFrédéric Coulon
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester CO4 3SQ, UK
Environ Microbiol 9:177-86. 2007....
Impact of a simulated oil spill on benthic phototrophs and nitrogen-fixing bacteria in mudflat mesocosmsPanagiota Myrsini Chronopoulou
School of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester CO4 3SQ, UK
Environ Microbiol 15:242-52. 2013..Thus, indirect effects of oil, rather than direct inhibition, are primarily responsible for altering the microphytobenthos...
Central role of dynamic tidal biofilms dominated by aerobic hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria and diatoms in the biodegradation of hydrocarbons in coastal mudflatsFrédéric Coulon
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, United Kingdom
Appl Environ Microbiol 78:3638-48. 2012..Thus, aerobic hydrocarbon biodegradation is most likely to be the main mechanism of attenuation of crude oil in the early weeks of an oil spill, with tidal biofilms representing zones of high hydrocarbon-degrading activity...
Limits of life in MgCl2-containing environments: chaotropicity defines the windowJohn E Hallsworth
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Colchester, CO4 3SQ, UK
Environ Microbiol 9:801-13. 2007..g. kosmotropic) solutes, is about 2.3 M...
Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactionsTerry J McGenity
School of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, CO4 3SQ, UK
Aquat Biosyst 8:10. 2012..The self-construction of a functioning community is central to microbial success, and learning how such "microbial modules" interact will be pivotal to enhancing biotechnological processes, including the bioremediation of hydrocarbons...
