CONSORTIUM OF STRAINS OF HYDROCARBON-OXIDIZING BACTERIA PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA ND K3-1 AND PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS ND K3-2 AS HYDROCARBON DESTRUCTOR AND A METHOD OF TREATING OIL-POLLUTED SUBSURFACE WATERS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B09C1/10 C12N1/26 

FIELD: biotechnology and oil pollution elimination.

SUBSTANCE: consortium of strains as indicated in the title is isolated from samples of diols and subsurface waters of caverns taken in Perm region territory and deposited in collection of geological microbiology laboratory, Institute of ecology and genetics of microorganisms, Ural Department of Russian Academy of Sciences, under name ND-MK-17. Method of treating oil-polluted subsurface waters comprises injecting, through well and/or sluggy, consortium of strains of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria in amount 0.5-1.5 L per 1 m³ subsurface water and then samples to estimate oil destruction efficiency are taken. According to analysis results, biological treatment of subsurface water is adjusted.

EFFECT: enhanced treatment efficiency and reduced expenses.
