Abstract
Slide cultures showed that growth of a hydrocarbon-utilizing Torulopsis sp. occurred only when the cells were in physical contact with the n-alkane droplets. Growth in batch culture was found to be linear and dependent on the surface area of substrate available to the cells. The hydrocarbon may enter the cell without first being converted to a more water-soluble intermediate.
