  3. Abstract:
  4. Biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in salt medium (SM) containing sea water by Pseudomanas sp. was investigated. Different oil hydrocarbons such as n-decane, benzene, naphthalene, paraffin, paraffin + vaseline, paraffin + kerosene, and fuel oil were used as carbon sources. Cell growth (OD) and COD were measured for evaluation of oil biodegradability. The effect of inorganic and organic nitrogen sources on COD removal revealed a 95% and 75% reduction of COD for inorganic and organic nitrogen sources, respectively
