Research in Vegetation House on the Possible Use of Microorganisms in Bioremediation of Soils Contaminated with Crude Oil
Abstract
Within the remediation methods experimented all over the world, the bioremediation in situ based on the activity of microorganisms to use the oil hydrocarbons as carbon and energy source, is considered the most effective, especially, because it does not involves the severe and irreversible disruption of structure and, implicitly, the pedogenic characteristics of affected soil and its cost is relatively low. The microorganisms represent probably the most important component of terrestrial ecosystems, which by their highly diverse physiological activity are the basis of the functions creating soil fertility. The N100P100K100 fertilization treatment and application of bacterial inoculum proved the most effective so far.
