✦ Synopsis
Penicillium corylophilium Dieckx was isolated from sludge collected at the interface of an aqueous, copper-bearing leachate and an organic, kerosene based, ion exchange solvent. The organism assimilated kerosene and various straight chain and cyclic hydrocarbons including dodecane, hexadecane, octadecane, toluene, benzene, and cyclohexane. Assimilation of kerosene and hexadecane was optimal at pH 2 and was stimulated by yeast extract.
