The isolates biodegrading crude oil were examined to characterize their properties. Isolates which were identified as Acinetobacter lwoffii G1, Klebsiella pneumoniae L25, Pseudomonas maltophilia N246, Xanthomonas campestris M12, and Xanthomonas sp. M28. The optimum concentration of crude oil was 0.15 % for the bacterial growth. X. campestris M12, Xanthomonas sp. M28, and K. penumoniae L25 showed the maximal growth at the concentration of 3.5 % sodium chloride, indicating that they were derived from sea water. Among the isolates, X. campestris M12, Xanthomonas sp. M28 specially utilized hexadecane and octane, and P. maltophilia N246 utilized octane with optimum concentration of 0.2-0.3 % as sole carbon source. The utilization of components of saturate fraction by K. pneumoniae L25 was examined by gas-liquid chromatography. The short-chain saturates are used before the long chain ones although they almost disappear within 8 days of incubation at 30deg C
