INFLUENCE OF THE AGROCHEMICAL TREATMENT OF OIL-CONTAMINATED SOIL ON THE ABUNDANCE DYNAMICS OF MESOPHILIC AND PSYCHROPHILIC MICROORGANISMS

The influence of a polymeric structure-formation agent, chalk and microorganisms on the numbers of mesophilic and psychrophilic microorganisms in oil-contaminated soil was estimated. A carbamide-formaldehyde structure-formation agent had the most positive effect on microbial growth. Introducing hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria and chalk influenced to a lesser degree.
