ABSTRACT:
Crude petroleum and petroleum products such as encountered in land or sea-borne spills are degradated by contact with the microorganism, Geotrichum marinum Thirumalachar sp nov., ATCC 20614, or enzymatic active material obtained therefrom. The microorganism and enzymatic active material may be used in combination with a carrier medium. The microorganism and enzymatic active material are effective for degradation in inhospitable climates and various land and open water conditions, generate no deleterious products or chemicals, and are long-acting and rapid in onset of initial activity.
