The current problem of the last decade in the world is the increase of oil production volume due to the extraction of its hard-to-recover reserves. The difficulty of its extraction is determined not only by the petro-physical characteristics of the oil-bearing formation, but also by the physico-chemical properties of the fluid itself. However, not all methods of enhancing oil recovery are ecologically safe. The most effective and ecologically-friendly method of soil purification from pollution by oil products is t...

The potential for biodegradation of chemically different dyes of six fungi and bacteria isolated from organic pollutants- and synthetic polymer-contaminated sites was determined. Standard enrichment isolation methods using low-nutrient-concentration media were used to obtain bacterial and fungal organisms from environmental samples. The isolates were taxonomically characterized using molecular analysis and Biolog identification system. The isolates included bacterial strains of Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas viri...

Bacillus genus covers a wide spectrum of microorganisms able to produce various polymorphic forms of silicate minerals in the form of crystalline structure based on diverse sources of silicon. Bacterial microorganisms along with mineral crystals were examined on human skeletal remains in different phases of their decomposition which had been exhumed from a church tomb. In total, 52 microorganisms were isolated from the bone surfaces, among which prevailed the bacteria belonging to the Bacillus genus. This bacteria...
