Abstract

Petroleum-hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria were obtained after enrichment on crude oil (as a ‘chocolate mousse’) in a continuous supply of Indonesian seawater amended with nitrogen, phosphorus and iron nutrients. They were related to and strains, which are ubiquitous petroleum-hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria in marine environments, and to (96.4–96.5 % similarities in almost full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences). The -related bacteria showed high n-alkane-degrading activity, comparable to that of strain SK2. On the other hand, strains exhibited high activity for branched-alkane degradation and thus could be key bacteria for branched-alkane biodegradation in tropical seas. -related bacteria became most dominant in microcosms that simulated a crude oil spill event with Indonesian seawater. The dominance was observed in microcosms that were unamended or amended with fertilizer, suggesting that the -related strains could become dominant in the natural tropical marine environment after an accidental oil spill, and would continue to dominate in the environment after biostimulation. These results suggest that -related bacteria could be major degraders of petroleum n-alkanes spilt in the tropical sea.
