Abstract
⺠The roles of different microbial groups in hydrocarbon mineralisation was assessed. ⺠Inhibiting fungal growth did not affect 14C-hexadecane mineralisation. ⺠Inhibiting bacterial growth resulted in negligible 14C-hexadecane mineralisation. ⺠alkB bacterial groups were undetected in sodium azide supplemented microcosms. ⺠The importance of alkB groups in 14C-hexadecane mineralisation was highlighted.
