    This study analyzed changes in bacterial communities in mesocosm experiments simulating an oil spill in the marine environment. Analysis of 16S crDNA showed the initial bacterial population structure shifted drastically after 15 days. Bacteria closely related to the genus Alcanivorax became the dominant group in the contaminated sea water with added nitrogen and phosphorus. This suggests Alcanivorax bacteria play a key role in bioremediating oil-contaminated marine environments.

    Abstract: Summary
    Mesocosm experiments were performed to study the changes on bacterial community
    composition following oil spill in marine environment. The analysis of 16S crDNA
    revealed a shift in the structure of initial bacterial population that was
    drastically different from that one measured after 15 days. The results showed
    that, after 15 days, bacteria closely related to the genus Alcanivorax became the
    dominant group of bacterial community in petroleum-contaminated sea water nitrogen
    and phosphorus amended. This suggested that these bacteria played the most
    important role in the process of bioremediation of oil-contaminated marine
    environments.
