Intensity of superoxide anion radical generation (measured with lucigenin-activated Š”L) upon incubation of oil-biodegrading microorganisms within 24Ā h in basic mineral salt medium with addition of yeast extract or various hydrocarbons as the carbon source: Control - yeast extract and tryptone; Pent - pentane solution in hexadecane; Cyclohex - cyclohexane solution in hexadecane; Benz - benzene solution in hexadecane; Napht - naphthalene solution in hexadecane; Anthr - anthracene solution in hexadecane; Benz-Anthr - benzene and anthracene solution in hexadecane; BaP - benz(a)pyrene solution in hexadecane; Diesel - diesel fuel. a - A. calcoaceticus EMBM-06 b - A. calcoaceticus EMBM-06 c - A. calcoaceticus VKPM B-10353 d - A. calcoaceticus VKPM B-10353. Differences from the control for all the data sets are statistically significant (pā<ā0.05)
