Supporting information Figure S1. A field survey was conducted from Dauphin Island to West Point Island, AL, at five sites in the order indicated. Oil and paired visibly contaminated and uncontaminated sand samples were collected representative of ball and sheet geometries. Location 4 had highest visible oil contamination [1]. 1 Figure S2 Representative chromatograms of field samples collected following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill obtained by GC-MS. a: Chromatogram of sample from an oil sheet, b: Chromatogram of sample from a ball. 2 Figure S3. Comparison of composition of oil samples from sheet and ball geometries determined by GC/MS. Bars are plotted as average and standard deviation of each fraction. a) Comparison 3 of six field-collected sheet and tar ball geometries. The amount of hydrocarbons detected were normalized to the mass of the sample of oil deposit and associated material from the field. No significant difference in oil composition was found between the two geometries according to a Hotelling’s t-squared test. b) GC MS analysis of the oil deposits from the duplicate sand columns after sacrifice. 4 Figure S4. Hierarchical cluster of the sub-samples with depth from blank column core. Depths correspond to those sub-sampled from oiled columns. Red dashed lines indicate that the difference between the clustered samples is not significant. y-axis is indicative of Bray-Curtis similarity at which a cluster is formed. Hierarchical clustering was conducted using ‘Group average’ method [2]. 5 Figure S5. Hierarchical cluster of the samples from the sheet column. Depths correspond to those sub-sampled from oiled columns. Red dashed lines indicate that the difference between the clustered samples is not significant. Y-axis is indicative of Bray-Curtis similarity at which a cluster is formed. Hierarchical clustering was conducted using ‘Group average’ method [2]. 6 Figure S6. Hierarchical cluster of the samples from the duplicate ball columns. Depths correspond to those sub-sampled from oiled columns. Red dashed lines indicate that the difference between the clustered samples is not significant. Y-axis is indicative of Bray-Curtis similarity at which a cluster is formed. Hierarchical clustering was conducted using ‘Group average’ method [2]. 7 Figure S7. 16S rRNA gene copies per gram of sub-sample of column cores with depth. Data for ball columns is average of duplicate columns. Error bars represent the standard deviation of triplicate qPCR measurements of each sample. 8 Table S1.

Potential effects of inhibitors were assessed by serially diluting select samples and comparing PCR efficiencies with that of standards. It was found that a dilution of 1:50 effectively minimized inhibitory effects and was applied across samples. Samples were analyzed in triplicate with a standard curve and negative control included in each run. 11 Tabel S4.
