HYDROCARBON-OXIDIZING ASSOCIATIVE MICROBIAL CULTURES ELIMINATING HEAVY OIL
Abstract
Numerous microbial oil-degrading species are known as constituents of biopreparations used for disposal of emergency leakages of petroleum and its refining products. Yet, they show only minor effect with respect to hyper viscous crude oil. Elevated decomposing microbial associations lays the basis for further research and development of efficient biopreparation for degradation of heavy oil originating from Belarusian fields.
