Single cell oil, also known as Microbial oil consists of the intracellular storage lipids, triacyglycerols. It is similar to vegetable oil , another biologically produced oil. They are produced by oleaginous microorganisms, which is the term for those bacteria, molds, algae and yeast, which can accumulate 20% to 80% lipids of their biomass. [ 1 ]
Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is a biological-based technology involving the manipulation of functions or structures within microbial environments present in oil reservoirs. The primary objective of MEOR is to improve the extraction of oil confined within porous media, while boosting economic benefits.
Petroleum microbiology is a branch of microbiology that deals with the study of microorganisms that can metabolize or alter crude or refined petroleum products.These microorganisms, also called hydrocarbonoclastic microorganisms, can degrade hydrocarbons and, include a wide distribution of bacteria, methanogenic archaea, and some fungi.
Biosurfactant usually refers to surfactants of microbial origin. [1] Most of the biosurfactants produced by microbes are synthesized extracellularly and many microbes are known to produce biosurfactants in large relative quantities. [2] Some are of commercial interest. [3]
Oil spills happen frequently at varying degrees along with all aspects of the petroleum supply chain, presenting a complex array of issues for both environmental and public health. [1] While traditional cleanup methods such as chemical or manual containment and removal often result in rapid results, bioremediation is less labor-intensive ...
Microbial biodegradation is the use of bioremediation and biotransformation methods to harness the naturally occurring ability of microbial xenobiotic metabolism to degrade, transform or accumulate environmental pollutants, including hydrocarbons (e.g. oil), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heterocyclic compounds (such as pyridine or quinoline ...
En Honduras, la rama del Banco Mundial que presta al sector privado financió a una compañía clave en una disputa sobre derechos de tierras que ha acabado con la vida de más de 130 personas, incluido Gregorio Chávez, un predicador que un día salió a trabajar en su huerto y nunca volvió a casa. En la última década, los préstamos de la Corporación Financiera Internacional y su ...
The Carabobo-3 project has begun engineering for development, and expected to start producing 50,000 barrels of oil per day, with a peak production of 400,000 barrels of oil per day by 2020. Upgraders capable of processing 200,000 barrels of oil per day into a lighter synthetic oil are expected to be built by 2017 to convert the tar-like crude ...
