Abstract
Microorganisms isolated from petroleum contaminated site were tested for their ability to grow on JP-8 by culturing them on the culture medium that contains JP-8 as a carbon source. The microorganism which grew on JP-8 containing minimal salt medium was separated and identified as Rhodococcus fascians. Changes in JP-8 biodegradation of R. fascians that was isolated from petroleum contaminated site was investigated with various inoculums sizes, JP-8 concentrations, medium pHs, and culture temperatures. The amount of JP-8 was analyzed by TPH using Gas Chromatography.
