“…For the total count of bacteria, Nutrient agar was used; for fungi, Malt agar with streptomycin; for Gram-negative bacteria, McConkey agar 13 and for microorganisms which decompose hydrocarbons, mineral base medium 14 with different carbon sources: 2000 ppm diesel fuel, 375 ppm toluene or 200 ppm phenanthrene. 15 Actinomycetes, Nocardia and Pseudomonas as well as cellulose decomposing bacteria and fungi were determined using selective media. 16,17 The content of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in the soil was determined according to DIN EN 14345:2004.…”

Bioremediation, a process that utilizes the capability of microorganism to degrade toxic waste, is emerging as a promising technology for the treatment of soil and groundwater contamination. The technology is very effective in dealing with petroleum hydrocarbon contamination. The aim of this study was to examine the composition of the microbial consortium during the ex situ experiment of bioremediation of soil heavily contaminated with crude oil and its products from the Oil Refinery Pancevo, Serbia. After a 5.5-month experiment with biostimulation and bioventilation, the concentration of the total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) had been reduced from 29.80 to 3.29 g/kg (89 %). In soil, the dominant microorganism population comprised Gram-positive bacteria from actinomycete-Nocardia group. The microorganisms which decompose hydrocarbons were the dominant microbial population at the end of the process, with a share of more than 80 % (range 107 CFU/g). On the basis of the results, it was concluded that a stable microbial community had been formed after initial fluctuations.

“…Upotreba mikroorganizama kao biodegradacionih agenasa je u stalnom porastu zbog ogromnog biodiverziteta i neprevaziđenog kataboličkog potencijala. Degradacione sposobnosti su uslovljene kataboličkim genima i enzimima [22][23][24][25]. Osim toga, mikroorganizmi poseduju različite mehanizme za adaptaciju na hidrofobne supstrate kao što su: modifikacija ćelijske membrane, proizvodnja površinski aktivnih supstanci ili upotreba efluks pumpi za smanjenje koncentracije toksičnih komponenti [26].…”

The contamination of soil and water with petroleum and its products occurs due to accidental spills during exploitation, transport, processing, storing and use. In order to control the environmental risks caused by petroleum products a variety of techniques based on physical, chemical and biological methods have been used. Biological methods are considered to have a comparative advantage as cost effective and environmentally friendly technologies. Bioremediation, defined as the use of biological systems to destroy and reduce the concentrations of hazardous waste from contaminated sites, is an evolving technology for the removal and degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons as well as industrial solvents, phenols and pesticides. Microorganisms are the main bioremediation agents due to their diverse metabolic capacities. In order to enhance the rate of pollutant degradation the technology optimizes the conditions for the growth of microorganisms present in soil by aeration, nutrient addition and, if necessary, by adding separately prepared microorganisms cultures. The other factors that influence the efficiency of process are temperature, humidity, presence of surfactants, soil pH, mineral composition, content of organic substance of soil as well as type and concentration of contaminant. This paper presents a review of our ex situ bioremediation procedures successfully implemented on the industrial level. This technology was used for treatment of soils contaminated by crude oil and its derivatives originated from refinery as well as soils polluted with oil fuel and transformer oil
