Homework Answers
It would be a serious problem as many zooplankton and other marine organisms depend directly or indirectly on these phytoplanktons as a source of food. If their numbers start to decrease, the populations of these species would drop as well. Also, the phytoplankton dies, sink and decompose. The decomposition process depletes surrounding waters of available oxygen, which marine animals need to survive. Finally, the food chains in the ocean would be adversely affected. The density of ocean water would drastically decrease.

Question 5 Question text You observe an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and hypothesis that the indigenous microbial community in the soil will be able to degrade the alkane portion of the spill under sulfate reducing conditions. You set up multiple incubations under the following conditions and monitor the disappearance of sulfate over time. After 100 days of incubation the results are as follows: 1) The enrichment containing GOM sediment + oil + medium showed 99% depletion...
