The characteristics of degradation of naphthalene by the strain 8-A-2

Pan Xue

Abstract

A strain 8-A-2 which was able to degrade hydrocarbons was isolated from the contaminated soil in an oil refinery.And it was identified as Pseudomonas sp.The characteristics of degradation of naphthalene by the strain 8-A-2 and the optimal cultivation conditions were examined.98% of naphthalene loss in the minimal medium(pH 7.0)containing 0.2% naphthalene was observed after 48 hours of aerobic cultivation in shaking flask at 35℃ under the optimal conditions.
