Abstract

A method of activation of aboriginal hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms for remediation of soil and water basins polluted with oil products was developed. The optimum composition of activating additives was found (g/l): mineral components, 10.0; oil, 5.0; and a synthetic detergent, 0.2. The resulting biopreparations increased the degree of purification by factors of 4–8 in soil and 18–24 in water when applied at a concentration of 107 cells/g(ml).
