Use of Bacteria of the Genus Azotobacter for Bioremediation of Oil-Contaminated Soils

Use of Bacteria of the Genus Azotobacter for Bioremediation of Oil-Contaminated Soils The rate of self-purification of oil-contaminated soil increases after introduction of bacteria of the genus Azotobacter. The bacteria can assimilate oil hydrocarbons as the sole source of carbon and energy, both in the presence of fixed nitrogen and during nitrogen fixation. The species Azotobacter chroococcum activates growth of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria present in Devoroil. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology Springer Journals

Abstract

The rate of self-purification of oil-contaminated soil increases after introduction of bacteria of the genus Azotobacter. The bacteria can assimilate oil hydrocarbons as the sole source of carbon and energy, both in the presence of fixed nitrogen and during nitrogen fixation. The species Azotobacter chroococcum activates growth of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria present in Devoroil.
