What is Microbial Consortium Degrades Alicyclic Hydrocarbons about?

The document describes the isolation of a three-strain bacterial consortium from an oil refinery soil sample that is capable of degrading a wide range of alicyclic hydrocarbons. The consortium consists of Rhodococcus, Flavobacterium, and Pseudomonas species and shows growth on compounds such as methylcyclohexane, cyclohexanol, and adipic acid. However, the consortium loses the ability to degrade methylcyclohexane when cultured without selective pressure, suggesting the involvement of an unstable plasmid.
