The purpose of the article is to study whether it is possible to clean soils from oil and petroleum products using bacterial strains. Experimental samples of biological products were cultured in Erlenmeyer flasks in Evans mineral medium in the presence of 15% oil (volume/volume) at a temperature of 24°C for 50 days. For 6 weeks of the experiment, the loss of oil in the area with the test sample of the biopreparation was 70%. The association can be used in saline (up to 8% salt) soils in the pH range 4-9, and at low soil humidity (about 10%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
