RESUMO

Pullularia pullulans was tested for its ability to utilize a series of n-alkanes for growth. It utilized hydrocarbons containing higher C-numbers (13, 14, 16, and 18) to a greater degree than those containing lower numbers; in addition, an induction phenomenon was noted. Gas-liquid and thin-layer chromatography of ether extracts of the growth media revealed that oleic and palmitic acids were formed from tridecane, tetradecane, hexadecane, and octadecane.
