Abstrakt: Water pollution by oil took wide attention since past century. Using microorganisms for elimination of pollution increased in scientific research. At this study, one hundred and nine Candida tropicalis previously isolated from polluted water of river creeks at Basrah city, were used to evaluate the oil aliphatic compound absorption by yeast. Yeast shows the ability of bioaccumulation of aliphatic compounds which was done by estimation of absorption ratio of aliphatic compounds after incubation with yeast cultures for 24 and 48 hours using GC system. The bioaccumulation rates range between 50-300 mm2 and 50-200 mm2 during 24 and 48 hours, respectively. Thus, it can be concluded that using such microorganisms can help in reduc oil pollution in water of rivers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
