Degradation of Complex Carbon Compounds by Marine Actinomycetes (open access)

Degradation of Complex Carbon Compounds by Marine Actinomycetes

The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative study of marine bacteria, molds and actinomycetes in regard to their ability to degrade certain pure and mixed complex compounds possibly occurring in the lagoon waste traps of the Texas Gulf Coast. This comparison was made using a differential oxygen uptake as the index of specific compound utilization.
