Camelina sativa, belonging to the Brassicaceae family, is a plant with high potential to be cultivated for biomass for biofuel production, including on less fertile soils. In Moara Domneasca farm (of UASMV Bucharest-Ilfov County) different camelina cultures were conducted using ʻMădălinaʼ new variety. The aim of the study was to evaluate de microbial community in different stages of the camelina cultivation. The analysis targeted the level of the total aerobic bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes and lactic bacteria. The cultural practices have less affected the total bacterial content during an entire culture cycle, while the addition of initial nitrogen fertilisation decreased significantly (three logarithmic units) the level of the total bacteria, including the actinomycetes. No significant inhibition of the initial fertilisation was noticed in the case of fungi and lactic bacteria.
