Legacy and dispersant influence microbial community dynamics in cold seawater contaminated by crude oil water accommodated fractions

Functional redundancy in response to runoff input upholds microbial community in hydrocarbon-contaminated land-sea continuum

“…Thus, HC probably act as a filter selecting the organisms that are able to survive and establish in this specific condition (Bordenave et al, 2004;Duran et al, 2015;Stauffert et al, 2013). However, the functional microbial communities structure was not affected by the spiking of HC (PERMANOVA F(1) = 1.0825; p > 0.05) suggesting a legacy effect (Jurburg et al, 2017;Nunes et al, 2018;Hafez et al, 2022). Additionally, NMDS analysis separated clusters according to the compartment, distinguishing the effect of runoff in sediments (Figure 2), which indicated functional redundancy, similar function carried by different genes and/or species (Jurburg and Salles, 2015;Louca et al, 2018), as illustrated in Figure 2 B for the organic remediation function.…”

The Shaping of Daqing: Borderless Interactions between Oil and Urban Areas

“…The existing body of knowledge is rich in analyses of the dispersion [27,28], and the effects of pollutants [29,30]. Despite the numerous industrial disasters and their related pollution in cities, their impacts on public health and the environment remain understudied [31].…”

The hydrocarbon pollution crisis: Harnessing the earth hydrocarbon‐degrading microbiome

“…The difficulty for the added microorganisms to incorporate well‐established microbial community, known as colonization resistance in ecological theory, depends on several factors controlling the microbial community mixing, i.e., microbial community coalescence (Châtillon, Duran, et al., 2023 ; Rillig et al., 2015 ). These factors include the microbial communities legacy based on the history of contamination (Hafez et al., 2022 ), the size of the added community (Rillig et al., 2015 ), and priority effects (Tucker & Fukami, 2014 ). Nevertheless, the current knowledge on hydrocarbon microbial ecology provides crucial information opening the way for the implementation of bioremediation processes based on synthetic biology approaches (de Lorenzo, 2008 ).…”
