Rates of microbial biodegradation of components of South Louisiana crude oil were determined by computer analysis of data obtained from computerized mass spectrometry. Total residue of the oil decreased exponentially with time, with maximum decrease noted at logarithmic phase, whereas asphaltenes and resins increased at the logarithmic phase of growth. Saturates decreased continuously during growth. Microbial degradation of components of crude oil was concluded to be a dynamic process.
通过对计算机质谱分析所得数据进行计算机分析，测定了南路易斯安那原油各组分的微生物降解率。原油的总残留量随时间呈指数下降，在对数期下降最为明显，而沥青质和树脂在生长对数期增加。饱和烃在生长过程中持续减少。得出结论，原油组分的微生物降解是一个动态过程。
