3.2. Degradation rate of heavy oil
The ability of ODB-G1 and ODB-G2 to degrade heavy
oil was examined by the TLC/FID method. The method
measures the heavy oil components by roughly separating
into saturates, aromatics, resins and asphaltenes. Sturates
and aromatics are consisted of carbon and hydrogen. On
the other hand, resins and asphaltens are consisted of
carbon, hydrogen, and the other compounds, which are
sulpfur, oxygen, nitrogen, metal and so on. Many
microorganisms can degrade saturates and aromatics, but
few information was reported about the bacteria that can
degrade resins and asphaltenes. Although the rate of
degradation varied from experiment to experiment, both
bacterial groups were found to degrade all components
