Microbial petroleum degradation: use of mixed hydrocarbon substrates

J D Walker et al. Appl Microbiol. 1974 Jun.

Abstract

Methods of examining hydrocarbons to estimate the microbial degradation of petroleum are compared. Gas-liquid chromatography with a mixed hydrocarbon substrate has been shown to be useful in evaluating microbial potential for degradation of a number of hydrocarbons.
