- W208034168 abstract "Bacteria are able to degrade any type of hydrocarbon, given the right conditions and enough time. Indeed, many bacteria have been isolated that use toxic hydrocarbons as their only carbon and energy source. This study examines the biodegradation of vacuum pump oil by bacteria. Bacteria that can use vacuum pump oil as their sole carbon and energy source were isolated from soil collected near a waste oil farming site and a fuel oil depot on the Savannah River Plant, near Aiken, South Carolina. Degradation rates of vacuum pump oil were determined by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the bacteria in a controlled microcosm. Both high concentrations and low concentrations of vacuum pump oil were inhibitory to vacuum pump oil degradation. Phosphorus and nitrogen were found to be significant limiting factors to the rate of vacuum pump oil degradation in the microcosms. Iron, a common co-factor in hydrocarbon degradation, had no measurable effect on the rate of vacuum pump oil degradation. High concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus combined, were found to have a greater stimulatory effect on vacuum pump oil degradation then either one alone. Hydrogen peroxide, an oxygen source, at very low concentrations had the greatest stimulatorymore » effect on vacuum pump oil degradation of any of the nutrients tested. The degradation of vacuum pump oil by bacteria in microcosms shows great promise for being a controllable and efficient method for eliminating this common laboratory waste.« less" @default.
