Microbial biodegradation of oil in reservoirs has attracted the attention of researchers worldwide due to the alterations caused in oil properties with economic losses in the subsequent petroleum extraction and refining steps. The occurrence of biodegradation in oil reservoirs was mainly attributed to aerobic bacterial degradation of hydrocarbons. However, more recent hypotheses suggest t…
Most of the world petroleum reserves are biodegraded and strong indirect evidences suggest that anaerobic microorganisms, mainly sulfate reducers and methanogens are responsible for biodegradation in oil fields. Therefore, anaerobiosis is considered a dominant process for in-reservoir hydrocarbon degradation and for other different oil-polluted environments. Several laboratory enrichments…
