Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to compositions comprising microbial strains and methods for use of the compositions in removing hydrocarbons from water and/or soil. More particularly, the invention relates to compositions of isolated Bacillus strains selected from the group consisting of isolated Bacillus strains Bacillus licheniformis MDG-1000 (NRRL No. B-67888), Bacillus pumilus MDG-1047 (NRRL No. B-67891), and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens MDG1607 (NRRL No. B-67666), or strains having all of the identifying characteristics of these strains, and combinations thereof, and methods for use of these strains for removing hydrocarbons from water and/or soil. The invention also relates to a method of removing oil in a cleaning application as described herein.
