Aerobic Growth of Rhodococcus aetherivorans BCP1 Using Selected Naphthenic Acids as the Sole Carbon and Energy Sources

Aerobic Growth of Rhodococcus aetherivorans BCP1 Using Selected Naphthenic Acids as the Sole Carbon and Energy Sources

Naphthenic acids (NAs) are an important group of toxic organic compounds naturally occurring in hydrocarbon deposits. This work shows that Rhodococcus aetherivorans BCP1 cells not only utilize a mixture of eight different NAs (8XNAs) for growth but they are also capable of marked degradation of two...
