environmental pollution, mainly carbon, nitrogen and sulfur oxides. Therefore, alternative, environmentally
friendly technologies for the conversion of brown coal were sought.
The brown coal used in this study was selected from four deposits in Kazakhstan. Five bacterial strains
were isolated from the weathered lignite minerals and supported on agar slopes of Luria-Bertani (LB).
The 16S rRNA gene of the five strains was amplified using individual PCR colony, with bacterial
universal primers.
Initial tests of lignite biosolubilization were carried out in Petri dishes. After activation 5, the bacteria
were inoculated in the center of the LB agar medium in Petri dishes, and then lignite particles were
distributed on the agar surface at a concentration of 1 g of lignite particles per cm
2
. Petri dishes were then
transferred to a biological incubator (28°C) and observed every day. Strains of
Acinetobacter pittii RKB1,
Bacillus sp. RKB2, rapidly solubilized lignite samples on solid LB culture medium after 2 days. In the
control experiments, there was no brown halo in the absence of inoculum or lignite. Thus, the brown halo of
solubilized lignite was obtained due to the activities of
Acinetobacter pittii RKB1,
Bacillus sp. RKB2.
Elemental analyzes of untreated lignite were carried out to measure the percentages of carbon,
hydrogen and nitrogen using an elementary analyzer Vario-ELcube (China). It is planned to determine the
percentage of oxygen and sulfur and processed lignite. The result was in the samples: 2-KLI N-0.47%, C-
64.68%, H-3.324%, 3-LLI N-0.48%, C-55.33%, H-2.448%, 6-OLI N-0.48%, C-60.40%, H-3.323%, 8-YLI
N-0.83%, C-59.54%, H-4.121%.
The next aim of the research is to study the effect on the elemental composition after microbial
solubilization.
