enhanced biodegradation of crude oil by Psedomonas plasmid-bearing strains in model soil systems

Oil biodegradation in sterile and nonsterile model soil systems has been studied. A comparison of process efficiency using indigenous microorganisms, introduced plasmid-free bacteria, and strains bearing various plasmids of naphthalene degradation was carried out. It was shown, in almost all variant...

Description
Summary:	Oil biodegradation in sterile and nonsterile model soil systems has been studied. A comparison of process efficiency using indigenous microorganisms, introduced plasmid-free bacteria, and strains bearing various plasmids of naphthalene degradation was carried out. It was shown, in almost all variants of the experiment, that the total oil reduction in the nonsterile soil was higher than in the sterile soil. The highest level of degradation was observed in soil systems containing plasmid-bearing strains.
