Deep subsurface oil reservoirs 100's of meters below Earth's surface exhibit extreme environmental conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and high salinity. Still, these oil reservoirs are inhabited by a wide variety of microbial life.Microorganisms in oil reservoirs comprise relatively...

This study investigated the performance of different mixed microbial cultures (MMC) able to ferment crude glycerol generated from animal fat-based biodiesel to produce 1,3 propanediol (1,3 PDO) and butyric acid, under non-sterile conditions. Eight different continuous flow stirred-tank reactors (CST...
