Petroleum hydrocarbon degradation by Candida species
Abstract A yeast isolate from the Niger Delta soil, identified as Candida species, has been found to degrade kerosene and automotive gas oil (AGO) in a mineral salts medium containing either of the petroleum cuts as sole carbon and energy source. Hydrocarbon degradation was demonstrated by gas chromatographic analysis. The organism also utilized ethanol, methanol and acetaldehyde as substrates for growth. This may be a candidate strain for stimulating the biodegradation of oil slicks in vulnerable terrestrial environments.
