Abstract

Samples from a previous study observing the effects of Corexit 9527 on microbial degradation of aromatics and saturates in crude oil were reanalyzed by capillary gas chromatography with a sulfur-specific detector. The results show an inhibitory effect on degradation of sulfur heterocycles (such as benzothiophenes and dibenzothiophenes), dependent upon dispersant concentration and nutrient supplementation.
