Since the early 1980s, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) has been the most common octane booster and fuel oxygenate used in gasoline in the United States. The Clean Air Act of 1990 mandated the use of so-called reformulated gasoline ; by the late 1990s, widespread surface and groundwater MTBE contamination caused by gasoline spills and leakage became a crisis across the US. Two different microorganisms, Mycobacterium vaccae JOB5 and Graphium sp., were studied to evaluate their ability to aerobically cometabolize MTBE and its metabolites after growth on propane and iso-pentane. Both cultures were ...
