A paraffin-oxidizing bacterium, designated as Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATS-14, was isolated from soil samples obtained from the Athabasca "tar sands." This strain utilized kerosene as the only carbon source of energy and produced a high concentration of pyocyanine in the culture medium. Aromatic carbons were not attacked, but C(10) to C(17)n-alkanes were readily oxidized by the pseudomonad and formed pyocyanine. The highest yield of the pigment was obtained from hexadecane and heptadecane.
从阿萨巴斯卡“焦油砂”采集的土壤样本中分离出一种石蜡氧化细菌,命名为铜绿假单胞菌ATS-14。该菌株利用煤油作为唯一的能量碳源,并在培养基中产生高浓度的绿脓菌素。芳香碳未被分解,但该假单胞菌能轻易氧化C(10)至C(17)的正构烷烃并形成绿脓菌素。从十六烷和十七烷中获得的色素产量最高。
