Content of specific n-alkane hydrocarbons decreased after treatment with CA16. The degradation of aliphatic hydrocarbons in 1% diesel by CA16 after (a, b) 15 and (c, d) 28 days of treatment. a and c are the plots of the total peak area from the GC/MS chromatograms and are representative of the remaining hydrocarbons after diesel-degradation, while (b) and (d) are plot representatives of the total hydrocarbon remaining after diesel degradation
