Naphthalene is a group of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) which is carcinogenic when presents in the environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the growth response and test the effectiveness of three isolates of indigen bacteria from the Joint Operation Agency area of ??PT. Siak Bumi Pusako-Pertamina Hulu (BOB BSP-PHE) in degrading naphthalene. The three isolates were tested in a Minimum Media (MM) liquid containing naphthalene with a final concentration of 0.2 mM and was incubated for 7 days. Optical Density (OD) and the degradation ability were analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that Pseudomonas sp. LBKURCC149 was able to grow in media containing naphthalene. Naphthalene is used as the only source of carbon and is able to degrade naphthalene by 21.98%.   Keywords: biodegradation, indigenous, naphthalene, Pseudomonas sp.

Enrichment cultures were established with the aromatic fraction of a crude oil and screened for aromatic-degrading pseudomonads, using a sprayed plate technique. One isolate identified as Pseudomonas sp. HL7b was chosen for further study because it oxidized several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic heterocycles without an apparent lag. Using capillary gas chromatography, spectrophotometry, and radiorespirometry, it was found to be capable of mineralizing and (or) oxidizing a wide range of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, S-, N-, and O-heterocyclic analogues, and alkyl polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, but not aliphatic hydrocarbons. The isolate displayed two colonial morphologies which correlated with variation in degradative phenotype and hydrophobicity as measured by polystyrene adherence. Four cryptic plasmids were observed in both colonial types. Pseudomonas sp. HL7b degraded dibenzothiophene co-metabolically by a recognized pathway, but this degradation was constitutive, rather than inducible as reported for other bacteria.
