Effect of bioemulsificant exopolysaccharide (EPS2003) on microbial community dynamics during assays of oil spill bioremediation: A microcosm study

► EPS2003 can be applied as an oil spill remediation agent in marine environments. ► Presence of EPS2003 influence the quali-, quantitative composition of marine bacteria. ► EPS2003 favors the increment of hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (e.g. Alcanivorax sp.).
