Assessing anaerobic microbial degradation rates of crude light oil with reverse stable isotope labelling and community analysis

Oil reservoirs represent extreme environments where anaerobic degradation profoundly influences oil composition and quality. Despite the common observation of biodegraded oil, the microbial degradation rates remain largely unknown. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted microcosm incubations wi...
