Bacteria mixture having heavy oil degrading ability and method of treating oil components

A method of removing heavy oil from an object coated with or containing heavy oil, comprising the steps of;

• (a) providing to the object a bacteria mixture comprising
• biologically pure cultures of FERMBP-7046, a strain of Acinetobacter bacteria;
• FERMBP-7049, a strain of Acinetobacter bacteria;
• FERMBP-7047, a strain of Pseudomonas bacteria;
• FERMBP-7048, a strain of Alcaligenes bacteria;
• FERMBP-7050, a strain of Flavobacterium bacteria;
• FERMBP-7051, a strain of Flavobacterium bacteria;
• FERMBP-7052, a strain of Flavobacterium bacteria;
• and
• FERMBP-7053, a strain of Moraxella bacteria;
• and
• (b) waiting a period of time that is sufficient for the bacteria to degrade the heavy oil, wherein the period of time is from about 7 days to about 56 days.
