Aerobic degradation of an Arabian light crude oil residue by bacterial strains ( Pseudomonas spp.), isolated from tanker ballast waters, revealed that degradation of alkyl aromatics, namely of alkylnaphthalenes, depende on the position, number and type of the substituents. Optimal conditions of biodegradation and the environmental and geochemical significance of this feature are discussed.
