Maximum toluene consumption rate, total CO2, and biomass productions were measured in the presence of 60 g/L of NaCl. Under these conditions, 90% of the carbon from toluene was recovered as CO2 and biomass. Maximum specific toluene consumption rate was about 0.12 mgC toluene mgC biomass(-1) h(-1) at NaCl concentrations between 30 and 60 g/L. It decreased to 0.03 mgC toluene mgC biomass(-1) h(-1) at 150 g/L. Besides toluene, M. vinifirmus degraded benzene, ethylbenzene, and p-xylene. Benzene and toluene were utilized to a lesser extent by another Marinobacter sp., Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus. specialized Halophilic bacterium Toluene biodegradation Aerobic Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus Marinobacter vinifirmus 084 160 7 1992-1999 2010 0273-2289 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010049351 10.1007/s12010-009-8746-1 0273-2289 [F B010049351] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010049351 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2010/03/010049351.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2010-04-06 2017-08-23 fdi:010049351 fre
