Microbial diversity in petroleum reservoirs
Buried hydrocarbon deposits, such as liquid petroleum, represent an abundant source of reduced carbon for microbes. It is not surprising therefore that many organisms have adapted to an oily, anaerobic life deep underground, often at high temperatures and pressures, and that those organisms have had, and in some cases continue to have, an effect on the quality and recovery of the earth’s dimini...
متن کاملRadiotracer Assay of Microbial Processes in Petroleum Reservoirs
Oilfield microbial communities exist under conditions of hampered exchange of water and mass and at a constant temperature; they are independent of the modern atmosphere and sunlight and may be considered closed or semi-closed systems. Crude oil is the main source of organic matter in this ecosystem. Microbial growth in reservoirs can be limited by the low content of phosphate and ammonium nutr...
متن کاملMicrobial Hydrocarbon Degradation: Efforts to Understand Biodegradation in Petroleum Reservoirs
The understanding of the phylogenetic diversity, metabolic capabilities, ecological roles, and community dynamics taking place in oil reservoir microbial communities is far from complete. The interest in studying microbial diversity and metabolism in petroleum reservoirs lies mainly but not only on providing a better comprehension of biodegradation of crude oils, since it represents a worldwide...
متن کاملBacterial diversity characterization in petroleum samples from Brazilian reservoirs
This study aimed at evaluating potential differences among the bacterial communities from formation water and oil samples originated from biodegraded and non-biodegraded Brazilian petroleum reservoirs by using a PCR-DGGE based approach. Environmental DNA was isolated and used in PCR reactions with bacterial primers, followed by separation of 16S rDNA fragments in the DGGE. PCR products were als...
متن کاملHeadwaters are critical reservoirs of microbial diversity for fluvial networks
Streams and rivers form conspicuous networks on the Earth and are among nature's most effective integrators. Their dendritic structure reaches into the terrestrial landscape and accumulates water and sediment en route from abundant headwater streams to a single river mouth. The prevailing view over the last decades has been that biological diversity also accumulates downstream. Here, we show th...
