Petroleum is a very complex and diverse organic mixture. Its composition depends on
reservoir location and in situ conditions and changes once crude oil is spilled into the …

It is now clear that active methanogens are present in the deep-subsurface. This paper
reviews microbial population structures and the biodegradation of organic compounds to …

Uncovers the Key Role Microbes Play in the Transformation of Oxidizable and Reducible
MineralsMany areas of geomicrobial processes are receiving serious attention from …

Our understanding of the processes underlying the formation of heavy oil has been
transformed in the last decade. The process was once thought to be driven by oxygen …

The methanogenic biodegradation of crude oil is an important process occurring in
petroleum reservoirs and other oil-containing environments such as contaminated aquifers …

Microbial communities and their functions in subsurface petroleum reservoirs are crucially
important for better understanding of biogeochemical processes and life forms in extreme …

The bacterial strain TR3. 2T was isolated from aerobic bioreactor-treated soil from a
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated site in Salisbury, NC, USA. Strain TR3 …

Aquifers are among the main freshwater sources. The Raigón aquifer is susceptible to
contamination, mainly by nitrate and pesticides, such as atrazine, due to increasing …

The zonation of anaerobic methane-cycling Archaea in hydrothermal sediment of Guaymas
Basin was studied by general primer pairs (mcrI, ME1/ME2, mcrIRD) targeting the alpha …

The Role of microorganisms in the petroleum industry is wide-ranging. To understand the
role of microorganisms in hydrocarbon transformation, identification of such microorganisms …
