  • Title: [Estimation of the hydrocarbon-oxidizing activity of microorganisms].
    Author: Petrikevich SB, Kovzev EN, Shkidchenko AN.
    Journal: Prikl Biokhim Mikrobiol; 2003; 39(1):25-30. PubMed ID: 12625038.
    Abstract:
    A method allowing the microorganisms growing on substrates with a low water solubility (oil, fuel oil, resins, and asphalthenes) to be isolated and counted was developed. An advantage of the method is its ability to estimate the oil-utilizing activity of each strain visually according to the decolorized zones formed during its growth on oil products. The sizes of these zones indicate which oil-degrading strain is most active.
