In the article the results of investigation of oxidation processes of crude-oil by bacteria of genus Pseudomonas: Pseudomonas mendocina H-3, Pseudomonas sp. H-7, Pseudomonas stutzeri H-10, Pseudomonas aeruginosa H-14, Pseudomonas alcaligenes H-15 and Pseudomonas sp H-16. It was shown that these microorganisms are capable to oxidize oil's hydrocarbons and oil products. It means that the bacteria may be used for bioremediation of oil-pollutant soils.
