title: [Kinetics of the degradation of aliphatic hydrocarbons by the bacteria Rhodococcus ruber and Rhodococcus erythropolis].
abstract: Consumption of aliphatic hydrocarbons by the bacteria Rhodococcus ruber Ac-1513-D and Rhodococcus erythropolis Ac-1514-D grown on mixed n-alkanes and diesel fuel was studied. Consumption of diesel fuel hydrocarbons by the strains was less intense in comparison with the n-alkane mixture. The strains showed differences in growth rate and consumption of the substrates, which suggests that they possess different mechanisms of hydrocarbon uptake.
