## Abstract The utilization of crude oil by microorganisms isolated from marine environments was investigated. Enrichment procedures for isolating crude oil degrading organisms were carried out using samples of mud collected among the estuaries and along the coast of North Carolina. The basal mediu
The white-rot fungus Nematoloma frowardii was examined for the ability to degrade [ring U-i4C]phenanthrene and [4,5,9,10-i4C]pyrene in liquid and solid (straw) cultures in a period of 63 days. 3.2% phenanthrene and 8.6% pyrene were mineralized to 14C0, in liquid cultures, respectively. A considerabl
