title: [Bacteria decomposing technical oils].
abstract: Fifty bacterial cultures were isolated from technical oils stored for different periods of time. Twenty out of the fifty strains decomposed technical oils. The bacteria were identified and classified as Bacillus strains. Bacillus subtilis, strains 7 and 10, and B. pumilus, strain 13, isolated from oils MK-8 + 10% Akor-1 and MT-16p as well as from AMG-10 were found to be most active and can be recommended as test cultures to study the resistance of technical oils against bacterial degradation.
