“…Therefore, the aim of this work was to determine how sewage sludge can influence the biodegradation activity of soil contaminated with oil products, as well as to determine what groups of microorganisms influence these processes most. It is known that the efficiency of this process depends on the number of microorganisms present in the soil and their ability to adapt, specificity of their functioning, nutritional substances suitable for growth, composition of pollutants, and physicochemical properties of soil (Iwamoto, Nasu, 2001;Vasudevan, Rajaram, 2001;Boldu-Prenafeta et al, 2004). It was determined earlier that a small amount of metals in the sewage sludge only speeds up the treatment.…”
