Abstract
Biodegradation of a ‘topped’ Kuwait crude by a mixed microbial culture in a stirred tank fermenter was characterised by bursts of respiratory activity. Acinetobacter calcoaceticus var anitratus predominated during the degradation process. n-Alkanes were rapidly and completely removedlosses from other hydrocarbon classes were only partial. The products of the reaction were CO2, biomass and oxidised hydrocarbon derivatives.
