Abstract: | Oil degradation by cultures of Rhodococcus erythropolisand Dietzia mariswas found to depend on the NaCl concentration in the medium. Optimal utilization of turbine oil by R. erythropolisand D. mariswas observed at 0.5 and 2 to 5% NaCl concentration, respectively. Mineral oil and a mixture of paraffins (C14–C18) were utilized within a broader range of the medium salinity. As shown by fluorescent microscopy, D. mariscolonies formed on the oil drop surface, whereas R. erythropoliscells penetrated the drops. The strains studied may populate various ecological niches in oil-containing ecosystems. They are promising for the development of microbial preparations for cleaning the environment from oil pollution. |
