Tropical Intertidal Microbiome Response to the 2024 Pasir Panjang Oil Spill
Assessment of microbial and geochemical responses to the coastal pollution caused by the June 2024 Pasir Panjang heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) spill on Singapore's intertidal marine sediments. Metagenomic sequencing and hydrocarbon profiling of visibly oiled and clean sites unveiled a microbiome based response associates with hydrocarbon degradation in real time over 185 days.
