Abstract

The sea surface microlayer (SML) is the upper 1 mm of the ocean, where Earth’s biogeochemical processes occur between the ocean and atmosphere. It is physicochemically distinct from the water below and highly variable in space and time due to changing physical conditions. Some microorganisms influence the composition of the SML by producing surfactants for biological functions that accumulate on the surface, decrease surface tension, and create slicks. Slicks can be visible to the eye and in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagery. This study focuses on surfactant-associated bacteria in the near-surface layer and their role in slick formation where oil is present.

Funding

This research was made possible by a grant from the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative to Consortium for Advanced Research on Transport of Hydrocarbon in the Environment (CARTHE) and an Office of Naval Research Award N00014-18-1-2835. The work has been conducted under the auspices of the SCOR 141 working group “Sea Surface Microlayer” and funded by the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative, Consortium for Advanced Research on Transport of Hydrocarbon in the Environment (GoMRI-CARTHE) and Office of Naval Research Award N00014-18-1-2835. The raw data have been submitted to the GRIIDC database (LASER DOI: 10.7266/N75T3HZ4; SPLASH DOI: 10.7266/n7-8rp8-h690). Argonne National Laboratory sequenced both the LASER and SPLASH samples. Thanks to the crew on Muy Loco for their assistance during SPLASH.
