Abstract

The influence of oil pollution of groundwater in a karst region onto the bacterial component was studied. It has been established that bacteria are present in groundwater in an amount of 103–106 cells/ml. Representatives of the genus Arthobacter, Microbacterium, Rhodococcus, Williamsia (phylum Actinobacteria), Achromobacter and Pseudomonas (phylum Proteobacteria), Bacillus and Brevibacteria (phylum Firmicutes) were revealed. The state of the microbial component of the studied groundwater was analyzed according to the scale of environmental modifications. It was concluded that, with the exception of the release of groundwater at a site 320 m away from the oil field facilities, bacteriocenoses are in a state of "anthropogenic ecological stress".
