Abstract
In studies of the microflora associated with fuel storage tanks, a Fusarium species was isolated from No. 1 diesel fuel. The culture was identified as F. moniliforme Sheldon. Attempts were made to cultivate this organism with seven hydrocarbons of 99(+) mole per cent purity as the sole carbon source; growth of the fungal culture was supported only by n-decane and n-dodecane. A spore viability study of F. moniliforme in filter-sterilized diesel fuel with no free water showed that viability was retained for 9 months in this environment.Entities:
