Fig. 6. Gas chromatograms of diesel extracted from cultures inoculated with putative hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria.
The non-degraded diesel profile (in blue) compared to the degraded diesel profile (black) when it was incubated for 7 days at 30 °C in BH medium with a selected hydrocarbon-degrading strain from the collection: a Isoptericola sp. (4D.3); b Pseudomonas lutea (9D.7). Each peak refers to a compound which was identified by comparing the mass spectra with commercial libraries and they are identified in Supplementary Table 2.
