Methanogenic biodegradation of C9 to C12 n-alkanes initiated by Smithella via fumarate addition mechanism

Abstract In the present study, a methanogenic alkane-degrading (a mixture of C9 to C12 n-alkanes) culture enriched from production water of a low-temperature oil reservoir was established and assessed. Significant methane production was detected in the alkane-amended enrichment cultures compared wit...
