Development of Filtering Materials with the Aid of Oil Oxidizing Microorganisms

Abstract

There was explored ability of oil oxidizing microorganisms to immobilization on modified fibrous material. There was checked its ability to hold on fiber of culture cells after long period of everyday washing by tap water of material sample. There was specified that in spite of high ability of some strains’ cells to adhesion on filtering materials, applied usage of samples after that impossible because of acquitted by them fragility and opacity. The most applicable variant for filters of undertakings’ waste treatment facilities could be sample of basalt fiber, modified with cationic starch with concentration of 0,5 mg/sm2 with immobilized on its culture cells Rhodotorula sp. 51-18-2P BKM Y-2993D.
