Abstract
Addition of diesel fuel and waste engine oil to soil was found to stimulate hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms. Corynebacteria constitute a large group of hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms. Addition of a liquid culture of photosynthetic bacteria to soil facilitates degradation of petroleum products and also stimulates growth of hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms. Combined addition of photosynthetic bacteria and compost to soil polluted with petroleum products produces a greater increase in the number of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria and substantially augments the rate of pollutant degradation.
