Growth of an oil oxidizing bacterium (nap C) on phenanthrene

Nap C, an oil-oxidizing bacterium was isolated from sediment of Port Dickson coastal water. It is a gram-negative bacterium and form spore under unfavourable conditions. The optimum environmental conditions for the growth of Nap C on phenanthrene were pH 8, salinity 30 g/1 and temperature 30 oc....

Description
Summary:Nap C, an oil-oxidizing bacterium was isolated from sediment of Port Dickson coastal water. It is a gram-negative bacterium and form spore under unfavourable conditions. The optimum environmental conditions for the growth of Nap C on phenanthrene were pH 8, salinity 30 g/1 and temperature 30 oc. Besides, 40 mg/1 of yeast extract was required for Nap C to grow on phenanthrene in the synthetic medium. Growth supported by addition of 40 mg/1 yeast extract was insignificant (P>0.05).
