The application of the mixed bacterial cultures to oil biodegradation in oil of different pH values (5, 7. 9), was also studied. The biodegradation process was detected in all investigated soils independly on pH values, both in soil with autochthonous bacteria and with addition of mixed bacteria cultures. In the soil inoculated with mixed bacteria cultures after 21 days reduction of oil content was 40% (± I .63%) in acid soil, 42% (±0.82%) in soil with neutral pH and 31% (±1.41%) in soil with pH about 9. After 42 days biodegradation was carried out in all investigated pH values at about 60% (± 1.63%) level of reduction of oil products. In control samples (only with autochthonous bacteria) during this time (42 days) the average 49% (±1.63%) decrease of oil products content was obtained. Addition of inoculum into soil influenced the effectivity of this process. The increase of oil removal by about I 0% was noted.}, type={Artykuł}, title={Influence of pH on Effectivity of Oil Products Biodegradation in Soil}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/123788/PDF/15_AE_VOL_29_4_2003_Boszczyk_Maleszczak_Wplyw_pH.pdf}, keywords={biodegradation, inoculum, pH}, }
