Ge neration of superoxide-anion by oil oxidizing microorganisms Acinetobacter calcoaceticus during incubation with various hydrocarbons
Using method of lucigenin-activated chemiluminescence the generation of superoxide-anion by oil oxidizing microorganisms of two strains of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus was investigated. It is shown that both strains of using microorganisms produced superoxide-anion during incubation with various hydrocarbons. The most active generation of superoxide-anion by bacteria was activated by diesel gas oil and naphthalene.
