Table of Contents:
  • Introduction
  • Preparing the hydrocarbon / crude oil
  • High pressure cultivation of hydrocarbonoclastic aerobic bacteria
  • In vitro high pressure incubation and activity measurement of deep-sea, methanogenic archaea
  • Bioreactor design to emulate deep-sea hydrocarbon releases including formation of gas hydrates
  • Mudflat benthic spill simulations
  • Protocols for subtidal and deep sea benthic oil spill simulations
  • Simulation of anoxic/oxic oscillations in crude oil-degrading bioreactors
  • Protocols for microcosms for growing biofilms on hydrophobic substrates - a polyphasic approach to study biodiversity, metabolic activity and biofilm architecture
  • Application of micro- and mesocosms experiments to pollutant effects in biofilms
  • Mini sediment columns and two-dimensional sediment flow-through microcosms - versatile model systems for studying biodegradation of organic contaminants in groundwater ecosystems.
