Abstract
A series of microbial associations capable of the biodegradation of various petroleum oils, emulsols, and crude oil were obtained by selection during periodic or continuous cultivation. Formation of the 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.
