Microbially Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) can Benefit from Bioremediation

Journal of Bioremediation and Biodegradation, 2012
Bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated sites has a long history and great achievements were made during the last decades. However, this had too little impact on microbially enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). Now that world-wide demand for oil exceeds the supply it has become necessary to use the scientific achievements from the field of bioremediation ...
