Abstract
Both methodological approaches revealed a high microbial contamination in all studied samples, with the bacterial load being much higher than the fungal load. The diversity of cultivable microorganisms was rather low. Based on criteria of abundance and fuel degradation potential, the most relevant microorganisms were identified as bacteria of genera Bacillus, Citrobacter, Burkholderia and Acetobacter, the filamentous fungi Paecilomyces variotii and Pseudallescheria boydii, and a Dipodascaceae yeast. Furthermore the validity and utility of qPCR-based methods are discussed.
