Ahearn, D. AND S. Crow. YEASTS FROM THE NORTH SEA AND AMOCO CADIZ OIL. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-80/078.
Description:
The species and densities of yeasts isolated from North Sea waters before and after the production of oil were compared. Debaryomyces hansenii was the predominant species, but after oil production, Candida guillieromondii, a hydrocarbonoclastic yeast, was more commonly isolated and the frequency of Aureobasidium pullulans decreased. Relatively few fungi were isolated from Amoco Cadiz oil collected twelve days after the start of the spill.
