  Although n-alkyl-substituted tetrahydrothiophenes are found in non-biodegraded petroleum, they are not found in petroleums that have undergone biodegradation in their reservoirs. These observations suggest that this group of compounds with an alkyl chain length from approximately C10 to at least C30 is biodegradable. By five gram-positive, n-alkane- degrading bacterial isolates, the alkyl side chains of 2-n-undecyltetrahydrothiophene (UTHT) and 2-n- dodecyltetrahydrothiophene (DTHT) are oxidized, and the major intermediates found in the cultures are 2-n- tetrahydrothiophenecarboxylic acid (THTC) and 2-tetrahydrothiopheneacetic acid (THTA), respectively. By four fungi, DTHT is degraded to yield both THTA and THTC. By 28 day-old bacterial and fungal cultural incubation, THTC and THTA are metabolized further to unidentified products.
