✦ Synopsis

The ability of bacterial cultures to degrade diethanolamine under anoxic conditions with nitrate as an electron acceptor was investigated. A mixed culture capable of anaerobic degradation of diethanolamine was obtained from fiver sediments by enrichment culture. From this a single bacterial strain was isolated which could use diethanolamine, monoethanolamine, triethanolamine and N-methyl diethanolamine as its sole carbon and energy sources either aerobically or anaerobically. Growth on diethanolamine was faster in the absence of oxygen. The accumulation of possible metabolites in the culture medium was determined as was the ability to grow on certain putative intermediates in the degradation of diethanolamine. A possible pathway for the degradation of ethanolamines by this organism is suggested.

Hexadecane biodegradation by a marine bacterium has been investigated in the presence of an oleophilic nutriment (INIPOL EAP 22). Hydrocarbon attack was only observed after metabolism of the fatty acids present in the fertilizer. The bacterium used up 95 % fatty acids in the first 24 hours. Hexadec
