This study investigates the biodegradation of crude oil by a mixed culture of bacteria isolated from the Qinghai-Tibet plateau using gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) and the gravimetric method. The results showed that a mixed culture has a stronger ability to degrade hydrocarbon than pure cultures. Once both Nocardia soli Y48 and Rhodococcus erythropolis YF28-1 (8) were present in a culture, the culture demonstrated the highest crude oil removal efficiency of almost 100% after 10 days of incubation at 20 °C. Moreover, further analysis of the degradation mechanisms used by the above strains, which revealed utilization of different n-alkane substrates, indicated the diversity of evolution and variations in different strains, as well as the importance of multiple metabolic mechanisms for alkane degradation. Therefore, it is concluded that a mixed culture of Y48 and YF28-1 (8) strains can provide a more effective method for bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil in permafrost regions.
