Alkane, transparent exopolymer particle and dissolved organic carbon concentrations and enzyme production rate data from surface seawater amended with oil

This dataset includes the results of a series of roller tank incubations with surface seawater from the Green Canyon oil reservoir, northern Gulf of Mexico, amended with either a natural oil slick (GCS-oil) or pristine oil. Incubations were sampled for bacterial enzyme activity and transparent exopolymer particles formation as well as bio-degradation of oil components.

本数据集包含一系列滚瓶培养实验的结果，实验所用海水采自墨西哥湾北部格林峡谷油藏的表层海水，培养体系分别添加了天然浮油（GCS-oil）或纯净原油。研究人员对该培养体系进行取样，以检测细菌酶活性、透明胞外聚合物颗粒（transparent exopolymer particles）的生成情况，以及石油组分的生物降解过程。
