摘要: The subject of microbial life on petroleum has been studied by scientists with a broad spectrum interests. studies include basic research the biochemistry hydrocarbon oxidation, genetic factors coding for enzymes, physiology oil degrading bacteria and ecology contaminated environments. In addition, often produce variety surface active molecules that have numerous potential biotechnological industrial uses. Another important aspect involves using combating pollution — bioremediation. Numerous recent reviews written (Korda et al., 1997; Leahy Colwell, 1990; Morgan Watkinson, 1989; Prince, 1993; Rosenberg, 1991; Rosenberg Ron, 1996; Swannell 1996).
