Compositions and methods of use

摘要

Provided herein are compositions and methods that can remove, metabolize, or degrade a hydrocarbon in an area that is contaminated by hydrocarbons. Methods for bioremediation of an area such as an area of land, a body of water, or a shoreline that are contaminated by a hydrocarbon, such as from a crude oil spill are also described. The compositions and methods described herein can be used on natural flora and fauna as well as manmade materials that are contaminated by a hydrocarbon.

1. A composition comprising a microbial component, an enzymatic component, an emulsifying component, and a nutritive component, wherein
the microbial component comprises about 5-75% of the total weight of the composition and comprises an equal amount by weight of Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus pumilus, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and L. Salivarius bifidum; the enzymatic component comprises about 5-25% of the total weight of the composition and comprises by weight about 10-15% pancreatin (4×); about 3-7% protease AO; about 10-15% hemicellulase, about 15-20% bromelain, about 15-20% papain, about 10-15% lipase, and about 10-15% amylase; the emulsifier component comprises about 5-20% of the total weight of the composition and comprises (by weight) about 5-15% lecithin; and the nutritive component comprises about 5-30% of the total weight of the composition and comprises by weight about 3-10% spirulan.
