Abstract

The influence of the light transformed by a light-correcting film on the growth dynamics and enzymatic activity of hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms of the genus Pseudomonas (P. stutzeri and P. putida) was investigated under laboratory conditions in liquid medium with 2% oil. The numbers of investigated microorganisms increased by 2–2.5 orders of magnitude due to application of the light-correcting film as a cover material. The dehydrogenase and catalase activities increased by 2–2.5 times. The rate of accumulation of aldehydes (intermediate products of metabolism of oil hydrocarbons) increased by 2.5 times. According to the data of gas-liquid chromatography and elemental analysis, the processes of microbial oxidation of oil hydrocarbons proceeded much faster than in the control variants.
