Abstract:The main objectives of this three-year research project are: 1) to employ the latest advances in genetics and bioengineering, especially Directed Protein Evolution technology, to improve the effectiveness of the microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) process. 2) to improve the surfactant activity and the thermal stability of bio-surfactant systems for MEOR; and 3) to develop improved laboratory methods and tools that screen quickly candidate bio-systems for EOR.Biosurfactants have been receiving increasing att… Show more
