Abstract
he efficiency of application of cationic polyacrylamide and its hydrophobized derivative at the stage of cell biomass separation from the cell cultures fluid is estimated. Cells of oil-degrading microorganisms obtained from mixed culture fluid by flocculation and flotation retain their viability for further use in the treatment of oil-contaminated soils under non-sterile conditions. The application of a new form of oil-oxidizing preparation resulted in a 40 % reduction of total petroleum hydrocarbon content in the contaminated soil.
