Abstract
Some high lights of hydrocarbon microbiology history. Hydrocarbon microbiology had its beginnings with the observation of Miyoshi that common industrial Fungus, Botrytis cinders, would attack paraffins. How ever until the early reports on microbial attack of hydrocarbons were infrequent. Most workers believed that microbial oxidation was specialized property of a relatively feu soil- type organisms. Milevsky suggested sampling hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms means of prospecting. Tests were quickly devised for oil Prospecting based on this technique Work was also begun to study hydrocarbon-attacking microorganisms in the laboratory Stravinsky and Stone, Johnson and the early their upas sufficient evidence that hydrocarbon oxidation was e wide spread property of microorganisms. This led many workers to start studying the mechanism of attack (Heishe and Hashimoto, Leadbetter and Foster.
