Nine strains of oil-degrading microorganisms were isolated from the oil-polluted waters of the Kerch Strait: Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus pumilus, Citrobacter freundii, Lysinibacillus fusioformis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Pseudomonas putida. The ability of these strains to degrade fuel oil (concentration 50 g/kg) in water over 14 days was analyzed. High efficiency of fuel oil degradation was observed for the bacterial strains Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus c
