Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The aim of the present study was to isolate and characterize a bacterium, strain EN3, capable of using diesel oil as a major carbon and energy source, and to analyse the enhancement of diesel oil degradation by this organism using synthetic mycolic acid (2-hexyl-3-hydroxyldecanoic acid). METHOD AND RESULTS: An actinomycete with the ability to degrade diesel oil was isolated from oil contaminated soil and...
