Abstract
The question of the interaction of oil and oil products with a number of microorganisms (pelagic microalgae, ciliates) and their possible role in the destruction of petroleum hydrocarbons remains topical. The aim of the work was to determine the possible impact of petroleum hydrocarbons on the quantitative indicators of some organisms. The experiment used natural marine water with a natural association of pelagic diatoms, dinoflagellates and ciliates. It was shown that this complex of microorganisms is able to participate in the processes of degradation and transformation of hydrocarbons. It is noted that these processes are more intense in the dark. It was revealed that the toxic effect of diesel fuel on diatoms, dinoflagellates and ciliates leads to a decrease in the quantitative indicators of microorganisms (number and biomass). The greatest toxic effect was noted for ciliates, which were not detected in the presence of diesel fuel already on the fifth day of the experiment. For diatoms and dinoflagellates in the presence of diesel fuel, there was a gradual decrease in quantitative indicators relative to a pure environment compared with the reaction to diesel fuel of ciliates. It should be noted that under light conditions, even in the presence of diesel fuel, the abundance of diatoms and ciliates was significantly higher than in the dark. It can be assumed that for diatoms and ciliates, light is a significant factor for maintaining viability (along with the presence/absence of petroleum products). The results obtained allow us to take a fresh look at the possible role of microorganisms in the bioremediation of sea water from oil products in the Arctic region, where the polar night period lasts up to three months (November-January) per year.
