Microbial decomposition of mineral oil

Article No. P4100900

Some microorganisms living in soil and water are capable of utilizing mineral oil compounds as carbon and energy sources. They break down these compounds to produce carbon dioxide and water, thereby decomposing mineral oil. Particularly mycobacteria, corynebacteria and proactomycetes are able to decompose mineral oil.

Key Features
  • The experiment shows how to clean soil contaminated by oil in a environmentally friendly way
  • Microbiology experiment which can be performed under non-sterile conditions
  • Experiment to grow mineral-oil degrading microorganisms in small scale
  • Particularly educational in countries with mineral oil industry
✓
Complete experiment set, includes the detailed experiment guide and all required apparatus
