Microbiology of Anaerobic Hydrocarbon Degradation in Petroleum Reservoirs (MICROBEOIL)
Start date: Jun 22, 2009, End date: Jun 21, 2011,
"Microbial activity in petroleum reservoirs over geologic time has led to the biodegradation of most of the world’s oil reserves. Geochemical evidence for in situ biodegradation is strong, but little is known from a biological perspective and current micobiological understanding is largely inferred from non-oil field environments. Incorporating microbiology into petroleum geoscience and engineerin ...

Bacterial dynamics and abundance; quantitative coupling of hydrocarbon degradation and specific bacterial communities (BACTOIL)
Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2010,
Industrial development has led to exponential increase in fossil fuel consumption. This has caused serious damage to environment and needs proper management. An understanding of the relationship between hydrocarbon pollution and microbial diversity will be useful for developing predictive and effective models for biological treatment of polluted environments. New molecular tools that provide a cle ...
