Method for estimating the decomposition of hexadecane in the marine environment.

H Seki

ABSTRACT

A method, based on quantitating 14CO2 produced from [14C]hexadecane, has been developed for estimating the rate of hexadecane decomposition in seawater of Tokyo Bay during the summer stagnation period. The rate of hexadecane decomposition was from 0.1 to 1.3 mug/h per liter of seawater at the surface layer in the polluted gyre of the inner part of Tokyo Bay during the summer of 1974. A similar horizontal distribution pattern was seen for the density of hexadecane-decomposing bacteria.
