Degradation and mineralization of petroleum in sea water: limitation by nitrogen and phosphorous.
Ronald M. Atlas,Richard Bartha +1 more
TL;DR: Biodegradation and mineralization of petroleum, added at 1% (v/v) to freshly collected sea water, were measured using gas–liquid chromatographic, residual weight, and CO2‐evolution techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation and mineralization of petroleum by two bacteria isolated from coastal waters
Ronald M. Atlas,Richard Bartha +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of a Flavobacterium sp. and Brevibacteria sp. to metabolize a paraffinic crude oil and a chemically defined hydrocarbon mixture was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abundance, distribution and oil biodegradation potential of micro-organisms in Raritan Bay
Ronald M. Atlas,Richard Bartha +1 more
TL;DR: Using an improved enumeration technique, the abundance of oil degrading microorganisms was monitored in Raritan Bay during a one-year period as discussed by the authors, and the determined numbers varied from a low of 20/1 to a high of 3400/1 of surface sea water.
