Characterization of dioxygenases and biosurfactants produced by crude oil degrading soil bacteria

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Role of microbes in bioremediation of oil spills has become inevitable owing to their eco friendly nature. This study focused on the isolation and characterization of bacterial strains with superior oil degrading potential from crude-oil contaminated soil. Three such bacterial strains were selec...

Evaluation of bacterial diversity recovered from petroleum samples using different physical matrices

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Unraveling the microbial diversity and its complexity in petroleum reservoir environments has been a challenge throughout the years. Despite the techniques developed in order to improve methodologies involving DNA extraction from crude oil, microbial enrichments using different culture condition...
