“…Methanogenic Archaea are common in oil reservoir ecosystems, including the hightemperature West Siberian oil-bearing formations (Nazina et al 1995;Bonch-Osmolovskaya et al 2003), and it is recognized that oil fields may contain methane derived from microbiological processes (Wolicka et al 2010). It has indeed been proposed, on geochemical and geological grounds, that a significant proportion of the shallow dry gas found in the north of the Western Siberian Basin originated from methanogenic biodegradation of oil (Milkov, 2010).…”

The dominant microbial components of fluids from wells in pristine and water-injected, high-temperature, Western Siberian oil fields, were analyzed by PCR-DGGE. Particular emphasis was placed on sulphatereducing organisms, due to their ecological and industrial importance. Bacterial phylotypes obtained from the non-water-injected Stolbovoye oil field were more diverse than those from the Samotlor field, which is subject to secondary oil recovery by reinjection of recycled production water. The majority of phylotypes from both sites were related to Firmicutes. The low similarity to their closest relatives indicates unique bacterial communities in deep underground production waters and crude oil. Archaeal phylotypes detected only in the Samotlor samples were represented by Methanosarcinales and Methanobacteriales.Downloaded by [FU Berlin]

“…It was also discovered that SRB may occur and develop in crude oil, whose components are a good source of carbon. This fact would explain the presence of hydrogen sulfide in crude oil reservoirs and in formation waters (Rabus et al, 2000;Wolicka & Borkowski, 2008a;Wolicka, 2008;Wolicka et al, 2010). Samples of isolated sulphidogenic bacterial communities from Carpathian's crude oil from Poland are presented in Fig.…”

“…The level of soil bioremediation depends on the catalytic efficiency of the enzymes present in the microorganisms' cells or in the induced ones, developed towards particular substrates (Csutak et al 2010;Lal et al 2010;Krzyśko-Łupicka and Robak 2011;Krzyśko-Łupicka and Kręcidło 2018). Organic compounds degradation in the environments contaminated by hydrocarbons has been conducted by three groups of microorganisms, isolated from crude oil and liquids extracted out of mining processes: fermentative bacteria, bacteria responsible for sulfates (BRS) reduction, which completely oxygenate organic compounds to carbon dioxide or incompletely to acetate and metanotrophic archeons, which produce CH 4 (Wolicka 2010;Jankowska and Swędrzyńska 2016). CO 2 and H 2 O are the results of complete degradation of aliphatic hydrocarbons.…”

Removal of petroleum products from contaminated soil is a long-term process requiring attention and constant monitoring. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Fyre-Zyme enzyme preparation and/or calcium carbonate on microbiological changes and conversion of n-aliphatic hydrocarbons in soil contaminated of petroleum-derived substances. The material for testing was soil contaminated with petroleum substances. The total concentration of n-alkanes with a C8-C40 chain length was 420.1 mg•kg −1 DM. The pot tests were carried out by introducing stimulators. As a decomposition promoter for n-alkanes in contaminated soil, a 6% water solution of Fyre-Zyme and/or 1% sterile CaCO 3 was used. The pots were incubated at 25°C for 21 days. The dynamics of changes in the microbiota and concentration of n-alkanes were controlled for 21 days, every 7 days taking soil for testing. Microbiological tests included determining the total number of bacteria and fungi. Chemical analysis was performed by chromatographic method. Stimulating of soil bioremediation of contaminated hydrocarbons with calcium carbonate increased the number of bacteria, and stimulation with Fyre-Zyme and calcium carbonate-the number of filamentous fungi. There was no significant correlation between the concentration of n-alkanes in the soil and the total number of bacteria and fungi but stimulating of soil bioremediation with calcium carbonate increased the number of bacteria, and stimulation with Fyre-Zyme and calcium carbonate-the number of filamentous fungi. The observed correlations indicate that the concentration of n-alkanes in the contaminated soil increases with the addition of Fyre-Zyme.
