ABSTRACT

The world's environment continues to suffer from ever-increasing anthropogenic impact with negative consequences that have assumed a global character. Of the three main components of the environment-soil, water, and air-contaminated and damage soils are the most difficult to restore because of their ability to accumulate and fix toxic agents. Natural rehabilitation of soils contaminated with oil, pesticides, and other toxic agents is an extremely slow process in which microorganisms playa very important role. That is why soil remediation is considered nowadays a complex interdisciplinary problem, with biotechnology holding a leading position in its solution [1].
