Single-cell genomics reveals features of a Colwellia species that was dominant during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill
During the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico Collections a deep-sea hydrocarbon plume developed resulting in a rapid succession of bacteria.Colwellia eventually supplanted Oceanospirillales, which dominated the plume early in the spill.These successional changes may have resulted, in part, from the changing composition and abu
