| Research Abstract |
Experimental study has been conducted to investigate possibility of biodegradation of oil in deep sea. Pseudomonas stutzeri has ability to decompose phenol at sea surface condition, however such decomposition was not observed under 2.0 to 5.0MPa pressure. On the other hand, phenol decomposed faster at high pressure than at atmospheric pressure, when sediment taken from deep sea was mixed. It indicates the possibility of the biodegradation of oil in deep sea.
