Dilution of dispersed oil plumes delays the onset of microbial degradation by roughly a week and keeps biodegradation in an encounter-limited regime.
There are two distinct stages considered in the degradation model: encounter and growth

Modeling the impact of dilution on the microbial degradation time of dispersed oil in marine environments
Dilution of dispersed oil plumes delays the onset of microbial degradation by roughly a week and keeps biodegradation in an encounter-limited regime.
