โœฆ Synopsis

Several exciting findings about the biodegradation of hydrocarbons have come to light over the past year. The most significant developments include the discovery of anaerobic hydrocarbon metabolism, the isolation of 4-or 5-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon utilizers, the finding that aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons may be metabolized by totally different microbial populations, and the demonstration that induction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon catabolic enzymes may depend upon the presence of simpler aromatic compounds. Bioremediation has been applied for the clean-up of major marine oil spills of refined petroleum products.

Oil pollution is an environmental problem of increasing importance. Hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms, adapted to grow and thrive in oil-containing environments, have an important role in the biological treatment of this pollution. One of the limiting factors in this process is the bioavailabilit
