Bacteria in crude oil survived autoclaving and stimulated differentially by exogenous bacteria.

Bacteria in crude oil survived autoclaving and stimulated differentially by exogenous bacteria.

Autoclaving of crude oil is often used to evaluate the hydrocarbon-degrading abilities of bacteria. This may be potentially useful for bioaugmentation and microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). However, it is not entirely clear if "endogenous" bacteria (e.g., spores) in/on crude oil survi...
