Oil
products and bacteria-oil destroyers
in the Dnipro river
The goal of this work was to determine the amount of
oil products in the river in the industrially developed
region and to investigate bacteria – oil destroyers in
the waters of the river. It was found that oil product
and various bacteria – oil destroyers are present in
the waters of Dnipro river in Kyiv region. They differ
in their level of activity and morphology and cultural
features. Among the most active bacteria – oil destroyers,
are those witch have common features to those of the
Pseudomonas class, and possibly belong to it. Artificially
created associations from isolated selected cultures
of bacteria – oil destroyers, selected from the waters
of Dnipro river, effectively breakdown oil in laboratory
conditions, and can be used to clean the environment
from oil pollution.
