As part of an investigation related to the biological and chemical nature of Mud Lake in north central Florida, the lake water and sediment were examined to determine whether any micro-organisms existed which were capable of metabolizing pure phytol. Phytol is a side chain of the chlorophyll molecule and is considered the most likely precursor of the isoprenoid hydrocarbons found in the oil shale of the Green River Formation of Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. Phytol and its metabolic products are also known to play an important role in Refsum's disease. From the algal sediment of this lake, which is believed to be a modern analogue of the oil shale, we have isolated a bacterium that will attack phytol and can survive in cultures where phytol is the sole source of carbon.
