Biodegradation of light crude oil using realistic sea water

This dataset reports petroleum hydrocarbon data and oxygen concentration data for laboratory experiments conducted to assess the relation between (aerobic) biodegradation of light crude oil, present of dispersants and presence of suspended solids (e.g clay). Experiments were conducted with no dispersant, and with dispersant to oil ratios of 1:20 and 1:100, using either weathered or crude oil and were tested in duplicate. Replicates were sampled 10 times over approximately two months for analysis of total petroleum hydrocarbons. Oxygen consumption was measured in experiments testing crude oil at different dispersant to oil ratios with the addition of bacterial cultures of Psuedodemonas putida and Rhodococcus qingshengii TUHH-12 over a period of 36 days.

本数据集收录了为评估轻质原油好氧生物降解、分散剂存在与悬浮固体（如黏土）三者间关联所开展的实验室实验的石油烃类数据与氧浓度数据。
实验设置了无分散剂、分散剂与原油比例为1:20及1:100的三组工况，分别采用风化原油与原生原油开展，且所有实验均进行平行重复测试。
为开展总石油烃类（Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons）的分析，平行实验样品在约两个月的周期内完成10次采样。
在添加了恶臭假单胞菌（Pseudomonas putida）与清盛红球菌TUHH-12（Rhodococcus qingshengii TUHH-12）菌液、设置不同分散剂与原油比例的原油降解实验中，研究人员于36天的周期内测量了耗氧量。
