NOVELTY - Method for the growth of paraffinophilic microorganisms suitable for bioremediation of site contaminated with organic waste comprising adding aqueous solution to receptacle (12), inoculating the solution with material containing a paraffinophilic microorganism to form milieu, baiting the paraffinophilic microorganism with a paraffin containing substrate (16) and growing the microorganism on the paraffin containing substrate, where the receptacle is covered with a lid (14), is new.    USE - As a method for the growth of paraffinophilic microorganisms suitable for bioremediation of contaminated site, e.g. site contaminated with organic waste such as chlorinated hydrocarbon-containing organic waste; aquifer; or terrestrial environment (claimed). The microorganism includes Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas fluorescens.    ADVANTAGE - The method allows efficient growing of high concentration and sufficient quantities of live paraffinophilic microorganisms. The method provides efficient, effective and economical way of growing and identifying a paraffinophilic microorganism that can be used in bioremediation process. The method provides efficient determination of the presence of paraffinophilic microorganism in paraffinophilic microorganism containing material and promotes concentrated growth of microorganism on paraffin containing substrates for the purpose of bioremediation of contaminated site. The method does not use expensive and complicated equipment and offers a non-toxic approach to remediation utilizing proven microorganism toxic waste degraders. The method provides supplementary enhancement to other bioremediation techniques, which reconstitute dried bacteria in nutrient liquid media and require frequent purchases of dried bacteria products to maintain concentrated amounts for a waste degradation risk.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for an apparatus (10) for facilitating growth of paraffinophilic microorganisms to biodegrade an organic waste material comprising a receptacle; an aqueous solution contained within the receptacle; a material containing paraffinophilic microorganism contained in the receptacle and in contact with the aqueous solution; and a paraffin containing substrate positioned within the receptacle and in contact with the aqueous solution. The material originates from contaminated site, non-contaminated site or from microorganism culture lab.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows plan view of a paraffin substrate in a receptacle.    Paraffinophilic microorganism growth apparatus (10)    Receptacle (12)    Lid (14)    A paraffin containing substrate. (16)
