Abstract

P. zopfii (Chlorophyta) is able to degrade “gas oil”, recorded for the first time in contaminated waters in Argentina. P. zopfii (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta) is a coccoid colorless algae that we isolated from soil, plants, river, contaminated waters, etc. Morphological and physiological (carbon sources assimilation) studies were carried out for its correct identification. The ability of P. zopfii for “gas oil” utilization was evaluated by its growth in culture media containing “gas oil” up to 10%, as unique carbon and energy source.
