  abstract = {{M}arinobacter vinifirmus was shown to degrade toluene as sole carbon and energy source under aerobiosis and at {N}a{C}l concentrations in the range 30-150 g/{L}. {M}aximum toluene consumption rate, total {CO}2, and biomass productions were measured in the presence of 60 g/{L} of {N}a{C}l. {U}nder these conditions, 90% of the carbon from toluene was recovered as {CO}2 and biomass. {M}aximum specific toluene consumption rate was about 0.12 mg{C} toluene mg{C} biomass(-1) h(-1) at {N}a{C}l concentrations between 30 and 60 g/{L}. {I}t decreased to 0.03 mg{C} toluene mg{C} biomass(-1) h(-1) at 150 g/{L}. {B}esides toluene, {M}. vinifirmus degraded benzene, ethylbenzene, and p-xylene. {B}enzene and toluene were utilized to a lesser extent by another {M}arinobacter sp., {M}arinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus.},
