| Pseudomonas sp. KM1 was separated from soil contaminated by petroleum and identified. Sorption and desorption of PAHs in soil was performed. Biodegradation of PAHs was performed using Pseudomonas sp. KM1 in soil slurry systems. Pseudomonas sp. KM1 could degrade 7 PAHs including naphthalene, acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, pyrene and fluoranthene. These mixed PAHs were easily degraded within one day except fluoranthene, which was degraded much slower, taking several days by this isolated bacteria. Pseudomonas sp. KM1 is a good candidate for bioremediation of PAHs contaminated soils.
