- The present study investigates the isolation of microbial strains from oil contaminated areas and real bilge water as well as their ability to biodegrade targeted both hydrocarbons frequently detected in bilge water and bilge water itself. According to the results nine microbial strains were isolated with similarity higher than 99%. Degradation experiments indicated excellent removal of both n-hexadecane and n-dodecane for all the tested concentrations which varied from 89.0 to 99.7%. Regarding real bilge water degradation, a COD removal up to 48.9% was observed. Considering the difficulties arising during bilge water treatment, the obtained data are very promising to utilize isolated native bilge waste microorganisms in treatment processes targeting in their as high as possible effectiveness.
