Karpenko, R. Vildanova-Marcishin, N. Shcheglova, T. Pirog, I. Voloshina // Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology. - 2006. - Vol. 42, No. 2. - P. 156–159.https://dspace.nuft.edu.ua/handle/123456789/621The possibility of accelerating oil degradation by an enrichment culture of oil-oxidizing microorganisms in the presence of bacteria of the genus Rhodococcus and microbial surfactants was studied. It was shown that the degree of consumption of crude oil (2vol %) after 192 h of enrichment culture growth reached 84%. Inoculation of the active hydrocarbon-oxidizing strain Rhodococcus erythropolis EK-1 and exogenous surfactants produced by Pseudomonas sp. PS-27 increased this degree to 90 and 93–94%, respectively. On the grounds of these results, efficient methods of purification of the environment from oil pollutants can be developed.en-USoil degradationдеградация нефтиgenus Rhodococcusmicrobial surfactantsрод Rhodococcusмикробные поверхностно-активные веществадеградація нафтирід Rhodococcusмікробні поверхнево-активні речовиникафедра біотехнології і мікробіологіїArticle
