Abstract: | Toxicity of photolysis products from Ekofisk and Statfjord crude oils toward natural assemblages of marine bacteria was investigated. Incorporation of 14C-glucose, 14C-amino acids or 3H-thymidine were used as indicators of microbial activity. While none of these measurements revealed any significant effects of non-illuminated oil, a toxic effect was found after a few hours illumination of an oil slick. |
