    Bacterial decontamination of soil from Ostrava Airport
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Fečko, Peter; Tora, Barbara
    The paper deals with an examination of possible application of biodegradation in the decontamination of soil samples from Leos Janacek's Airport in Ostrava. Soils samples were used for laboratory tests of biodegradation taken from oil interceptors. The laboratory biodegradation tests were carried out with a pure bacterial culture of Pseudomonas putida, a pure laboratory culture of Rhodococcus sp., their mixture and a mixture prepared combining their media free of bacteria. The results of the paper imply that for the given purpose, i.e. for biodegradation of airport pollutants, it is most suitable to apply a mixed bacterial culture of Pseudomonas putida and Rhodococcus sp. The results of the paper show that the biodegradation method is applicable for the pollution in question.
