Abstract

Describes the stages of biodegradation in the environment of synthetic hydrocarbons having a polymeric structure. Special attention is paid to the selection of bacterial strains and nutrient media for testing the relevant materials in the laboratory. The role of microorganisms in the production of enzyme preparations is shown, indicating the classes of enzymes that are functionally significant in the processes of destruction of materials. Information about the parameters and conditions of laboratory experiments involving bacterial strains, which are assumed to have a biodestructor phenotype, is presented.
