Popis: Summary: Growth in soils of Mycobacterium paraffinicum with 0, 5, 15, 45 and 270 p/m of ethane was assayed by adding ethane-1,2-14C and measuring the 14CO2 produced. With < 45 p/m of ethane the lag period lasted several months. Differences in growth associated with different soils suggest that the microbial method of oil prospecting is unlikely to be commercially successful.
