Thermophilic bacterial communities generate thick biofilm on carbon steel API 5LX and produce extracellular metabolic products to accelerate the corrosion process in oil reservoirs. In the present study, nine thermophilic biocorrosive bacterial strains belonging to <i>Bacillus</i> and <i>Geobacillus</i> were isolated from the crude oil and produced water sample, and identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The biodegradation efficiency of hydrocarbons was found to be high in the presence of ba ...[more]
