ABSTRACT
A Pseudomonas strain NGK1 capable of degrading naphthalene as a sole carbon source was isolated from biological waste treatment effluent. After 48 hr of incubation in 0.1% naphthalene mineral salts medium, the bacterial culture showed irregular clumped cells and salicylic acid (68 micrograms per ml) in the medium (pH 3.8). The strain degraded naphthalene through salicylate and catechol as was evidenced by metabolite characterization, oxygen uptake and enzymatic studies.
