Abstract
The capability of a bacterial population to degrade oil hydrocarbons a nd naphthalene was found to be markedly enhanced by an optimized P:N r atio as well as by proper application of a surface-active compound. Th e importance of this optimization procedure was shown by both laborato ry and technologically performed experiments.
