Abstract

Mechanical, physical and chemical approaches to cleaning up the environment from oil pollution is too expensive and not effective enough. A process of biological treatment – bioremediation has a great potential and competitive advantage in comparison with other methods due to its environmental safety, cost-effectiveness and high rate of contamination decomposition. However, the effectiveness of bioremediation is usually limited by abiotic factors. A role of oil-destructive microorganisms in biological treatment of oil pollution is characterized, and approaches to improve the efficiency of bioremediation through formation of proper conditions in biodegradation media are described.
