Biodegradation of the hydrocarbons, tetradecane and phenanthrene, by mixed and pure cultures of Antarctic bacteria was measured using thin layer chromatography-flame ionisation detection (TLC-FID). Losses of up to 65% of tetradecane and complete degradation of phenanthrene with concurrent increases...
