Thermophilic and hyperthermophilic Archaea and Bacteria have been isolated from marine
hydrothermal systems, heated sediments, continental solfataras, hot springs, water heaters …

Souring in oilfield systems is most commonly due to the action of sulfate-reducing
prokaryotes, a diverse group of anaerobic microorganisms that respire sulfate and produce …

Although the importance of bacterial activities in oil reservoirs was recognized a long time
ago, our knowledge of the nature and diversity of bacteria growing in these ecosystems is …

Our understanding of the phylogenetic diversity, metabolic capabilities, ecological roles, and
community dynamics of oil reservoir microbial communities is far from complete. The lack of …

Biological treatment with sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) has been considered as the
most promising alternative for acid mine drainage (AMD) decontamination. Normally, these …

Oil reservoirs constitute deep geological environments with diverse physicochemical in situ
conditions where indigenous microbial communities are supposed to grow or survive, if …

Here we describe the diversity and activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in sulfidogenic
bioreactors by using the simultaneous analysis of PCR products obtained from DNA and …

Desulfohalobiaceae, a family within the order Desulfovibrionales, embraces the genera
Desulfohalobium, Desulfonatronospira, Desulfonatronovibrio, Desulfothermus …

Hydrocarbons released during oil spills are persistent in marine sediments due to the
absence of suitable electron acceptors below the oxic zone. Here, we investigated an …

The microbial communities of in situ reactor columns degrading benzene with sulfate as an
electron acceptor were analyzed based on clone libraries and terminal restriction fragment …
