Abstract
⺠Microalgae are able to physiological acclimatization low doses of petroleum and diesel oil. ⺠When petroleum or oil concentration exceeds these limits, survival depend of rare mutations. ⺠Petroleum-resistant and diesel oil mutants occur spontaneously prior to oil exposure. ⺠After 300 generations of artificial selection resistant strains were obtained. ⺠Cyanobacteria has more difficulties to achieve petroleum resistance than Chlorophyta.
