Abstract

Studies of the stability of an association of active hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms grown on diesel fuel showed that not all members of the association were competitive in an open-flow system. The abundance of some strains considerably decreased during cultivation. One of the strain groups had consistently high cell titers both in the medium and on a support. This prompts the use these strains as degraders of diesel fuel.
