TLDR
A series of microbial associations capable of degrading various petroleum oils, emulsols, and crude oil were obtained by selection during periodic or continuous cultivation as mentioned in this paper, and the formation of these associations and oil-product degradation occurred most efficiently during aerobic flow cultivation.Abstract:
A series of microbial associations capable of degrading various petroleum oils, emulsols, and crude oil were obtained by selection during periodic or continuous cultivation. The formation of these associations and oil-product degradation occurred most efficiently during aerobic flow cultivation. Under these conditions, oils were degraded by 92% on average. The microbial degradation of a petroleum oil depended on its brand, concentration, emulsification, and aeration.read more
