Abstract
species are vital for the early-stage chemically dispersed oil biodegradation and clarified their degradation and antioxidation mechanisms. These findings help us to better understand microcosm studies and microbial roles for biodegrading dilbit and chemically dispersed dilbit and suggest that dispersant evaluation in large-scale systems and even through field trails would be more realistic after marine oil spill response.
