Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Kazakhstan is one of the major oil producing and processing countries. Unfortunately, along with the growing volume of processed crude oil intensifies the problem of environmental pollution. In this context, the aim of this work was to study the role of microorganisms in the bioremediation of oil-contaminated loamy gray soils of South Kazakhstan. The studies were allocated 2 active strains of microorganisms Micrococcus luteus IS16 and Micrococcus varians IS41, which in vitro degraded 99.3% contributed by 2.0% kumkol oil. In real soil and climatic conditions of spontaneous microflora reduced content Kumkol oil by 39.6%, augmented microorganisms degraded 57.3% of oil, 92.8% of diesel fuel for 2 months.
