New biosorbents have been obtained, which are capable of both sorption and destruction of oil and petroleum products from water surfaces under the effect of new strains of myxomycetes, bacteria and yeast-like fungi or their consortiums. The microfungi and bacteria symbiotic complex is immobilized onto the hydrophobic biosorbents, which are characterized with a high bio-destructive activity towards oil contaminants.

With the costs comparable to those of known analogs, the proposed biosorbents are characterized with a high bio-destructive activity, which is useful for removal of concentrated (over 40 % of oil content) oil pollutions. The appropriate cost was achieved with new strains of immobilized onto hydrophobic sorbents microorganisms. Large-scale production of the biosorbents and bioactive products used in remediation of oil-contaminated soils can at the same time solve the problems of utilization of pulp-andpaper industrial wastes, namely, hydrolytic lignin.
