Bioremediation of Oil-Contaminated Soil of the Republic of Kazakhstan Using a New Biopreparation.

A new biopreparation is developed to clean soils from oil pollution in the arid climate of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The biopreparation includes bacterial strains F2-1, F2-2, and BS3701. When using the biopreparation in a liquid mineral medium with 15% crude oil, laboratory studies have revealed degradation of 48% n-alkanes and 39% of PAHs after 50 days.
