Abstract
The strain Fusarium sp. no. 56 isolated from natural oil-containing soil samples taken near the city of Oktyabr'skii, Republic of Bashkortostan, displayed a pronounced capability of biotransforming oil and its light and heavy fractions. This micromycete is nonpathogenic and can grow at 5–10°C. The latter property is of practical significance for its uses in soil and water bioremediation under the cold climatic conditions of Bashkortostan and other regions.
