ABSTRACT
Oil spills, like any other organic pollutants, arc an additional source of carbon and energy getting into the ecosystem. Nowadays several approaches to the remediation of oil-contaminated lands and water exist. Among these are mechanical facilities for gathering floating oil from water surfaces, sorbents of various origins, chemical emulsificrs-detergents, and biological preparations based on oil-destroying microorganisms [1]. However, none of these approaches is universal and free of serious drawbacks. The best prospect is the biochemical destruction of oil with the help of destroyer microorganisms [1-3].
