Abstract:

Numerousstudiesonthebiodegradationofpetroleumproductsusingtotalpetroleumhydrocarbons（TPH）havebeencarriedout;

however,thebiodegradationofequivalentcarbonnumber（EC）basedhydrocarbonfractionsinmineraloilhasattractedlittleattention.ThisstudyinvestigatedtheabilityofamicrobialconsortiumtodegradetheECfractionsinkerosene,whichwasusedasarepresentativemineraloil.Basedonthecloningandsequencingofthe16SrRNAgene,themicrobialcommunitywaspredominantlyidentifiedasBetaproteobacteriaofthegeneraAchromobacter,Alcaligenes,andCupriavidus.Degradationexperimentsinsealed120-mlvialscontaining1%（wv_1）kerosenerevealedthataromaticfractionsweredegradedfasterthanaliphaticfractions.AromaticfractionsEC>

1.Introduction

Thecontaminationofsoil,groundwater,andmarineecosystemswithpetroleumproductsasaresultofhumanandindustrialActivitiesisawidespreadenvironmentalproblem.Petrochemicalmixtures,suchasmineraloil,maycontainhundredsofaliphaticandaromatichydrocarboncompoundswithawiderangeofpropertiesandtoxicities（Blombergetal.,1997;

PotterandSimmons,1998）.Aromatichydrocarbonsaremoretoxicandmorepersistentintheenvironmentthanarealiphaticcompounds.Thetremendouscomplexityofpetroleummixturesmakesitdifficult,ifnotimpossible,toidentifytheindividualcomponentsusingcurrentlyavailableanalyticalmethods.Thus,thecomplexityoftheoilproductsandthelackofatoxicityreferencemakecleanupapproachesandbioremediationstrategiesincontaminatedsitesanoneroustask.

ThefractionationapproachoftheTotalPetroleumHydrocarbonCriteriaWorkingGroup（TPHCWG）providesapracticalsolutiontotheselimitations.TheTPHCWGhasgroupedpetroleumhydrocarbonsintoaromaticandaliphaticgroups,whicharefurthercategorizedinto13fractionsbasedontheirequivalentcarbonnumber（EC）（Edwardsetal.,1997;
