GC and GC–MS were used to study diesel oil degradation by B. cereus LY-1. GC–MS and the improved B–L method were used to study the changes in oil-sand oil composition and structural parameters due to bacterial degradation. The results of GC–MS show that the main volatile components of diesel oil are C11–C14 at 40℃, and B. cereus LY-1 has higher degradation efficiency for saturated alkanes and normal alkanes with high carbon number (C15–C24). In the experiment of degrading oil-sand oil, the four results of components show the resin in the treated oil-sand oil is reduced from 60.41 ± 1.03% to 55.03 ± 0.39%, the aromatic fraction increased from 21.04 ± 1.09% to 23.42 ± 0.7%, and the saturated hydrocarbon fraction increased from 17.59 ± 2.08% to 21.55 ± 0.44%. The results of GC–MS show that after B. cereus LY-1 treatment, long-chain saturated alkanes, aromatics, and complex aromatics can be utilized by B. cereus LY-1, and some relatively simple complex molecules are produced. The structure of oil-sand oil that became loose further illustrates this. The oil components of oil-sand oil are converted to light components, and B. cereus LY-1 has the ability to convert complex petroleum hydrocarbons into relatively simple fatty hydrocarbons.
