Culture-independent assessment of the indigenous microbial diversity of Raniganj coal bed methane block, Durgapur. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1233605. [PMID: 37731928 PMCID: PMC10507629 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1233605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023] Open
Abstract
It is widely acknowledged that conventional mining and extraction techniques have left many parts of the world with depleting coal reserves. A sustainable method for improving the recovery of natural gas from coalbeds involves enhancing the production of biogenic methane in coal mines. By taking a culture-independent approach, the diversity of the microbial community present in the formation water of an Indian reservoir was examined using 16S rRNA gene amplification in order to study the potential of microbial-enhanced coal bed methane (CBM) production from the deep thermogenic wells at a depth of 800-1200 m. Physicochemical characterization of formation water and coal samples was performed with the aim of understanding the in situ reservoir conditions that are most favorable for microbial CBM production. Microbial community analysis of formation water showed that bacteria were more abundant than archaea. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes were found as the most prevalent phyla in all the samples. These phyla play a crucial role in providing substrate for the process of methanogenesis by performing fermentative, hydrolytic, and syntrophic functions. Considerable variation in the abundance of microbial genera was observed amongst the selected CBM wells, potentially due to variable local geochemical conditions within the reservoir. The results of our study provide insights into the impact of geochemical factors on microbial distribution within the reservoir. Further, the study demonstrates lab-scale enhancement in methane production through nutrient amendment. It also focuses on understanding the microbial diversity of the Raniganj coalbed methane block using amplicon sequencing and further recognizing the potential of biogenic methane enhancement through microbial stimulation. The findings of the study will help as a reference for better strategization and implementation of on-site microbial stimulation for enhanced biogenic methane production in the future.

Abstract
The microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) method is an eco-friendly and economical alternative technology. The technology involves a variety of uncertainties, and its success depends on controlling microbial growth and metabolism. This study is one of a kind that showed successful tertiary recovery of crude oil through indigenous microbial consortia. In this study, a medium was optimized to allow ideal microbial growth under reservoir conditions through RSM. Once the nutrient recipe was optimized, the microbial metabolites were estimated through gas chromatography. The maximum amount of methane gas (0.468 mM) was produced in the TERIW174 sample. The sequencing data set showed the presence of Methanothermobacter sp. and Petrotoga sp. In addition, these established consortia were analyzed for their toxicity, and they appeared to be safe for the environment. Furthermore, a core flood study showed efficient recovery that was ~25 and 34% in TERIW70 and TERIW174 samples, respectively. Thus, both the isolated consortia appeared to be suitable for the field trials.

Abstract
Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is a potential tertiary oil recovery method. However, past research has failed to describe microbial growth and metabolism reasonably, especially quantification of reaction equations and operating parameters is still not clear. The present study investigated the ability of bacteria extracted from Ansai Oilfield for MEOR. Through core flooding experiments, bacteria-treated experiments produced approximately 6.28-9.81% higher oil recovery than control experiments. Then, the microbial reaction kinetic model was established based on laboratory experimental data and mass conservation. Furthermore, the proposed model was validated by matching core flooding experiment results. Lastly, the effects of different injection parameters on bacteria growth, bacteria migration, metabolite migration, residual oil distribution, and oil recovery were studied by establishing a field-scale model. The results indicate that the injected bacteria concentration and nutrient concentration have a great influence on bacteria growth in a reservoir and the low nutrient concentration seriously restricts bacteria growth. Compared with the injected bacteria concentration, nutrient concentration has a decisive effect on bacteria and metabolite migration. The injected bacteria concentration has little effect on oil recovery, while nutrient concentration and slug volume have a significant effect on oil recovery.

Abstract
An anaerobic thermophilic, rod-shaped bacterium possessing a unique non-lipid sheathed-like structure enveloping a single-membraned cell, designated strain NRmbB1T was isolated from at the deep subsurface oil field located in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. Growth occurred with 40-60°C (optimum, 55°C), 0-2% (2%), NaCl and pH 6.0-8.5 (8.0). Fermentative growth with various sugars was observed. Glucose-grown cells generated acetate, hydrogen, pyruvate and lactate as the main end products. Syntrophic growth occurred with glucose, pyruvate and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate in the presence of an H2-scavenging partner, and growth on 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate was only observed under syntrophic condition. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C16:0, iso-C16:0, anteiso-C15:0, and iso-C14:0. Respiratory quinone was not detected. The genomic G+C content was 40.8mol%. Based on 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, strain NRmbB1T belongs to a distinct order-level clade in the class Clostridia of the phylum Firmicutes, sharing low similarity with other isolated organisms (i.e., 87.5% for top hit Moorella thermoacetica DSM 2955T). In total, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genomic characterization revealed that strain NRmbB1T (=KCTC 25035T, =JCM 39120T) represents a novel species of a new genus. In addition, we also propose the associated family and order as Koleobacteraceae fam. nov and Koleobacterales ord. nov., respectively.

Abstract
Transformation of CO2 in both carbon capture and storage (CCS) to biogenic methane in petroleum reservoirs is an attractive and promising strategy for not only mitigating the greenhouse impact but also facilitating energy recovery in order to meet societal needs for energy. Available sources of petroleum in the reservoirs reduction play an essential role in the biotransformation of CO2 stored in petroleum reservoirs into clean energy methane. Here, the feasibility and potential on the reduction of CO2 injected into methane as bioenergy by indigenous microorganisms residing in oilfields in the presence of the fermentative metabolite ethanol were assessed in high-temperature petroleum reservoir production water. The bio-methane production from CO2 was achieved in enrichment with ethanol as the hydrogen source by syntrophic cooperation between the fermentative bacterium Synergistetes and CO2-reducing Methanothermobacter via interspecies hydrogen transfer based upon analyses of molecular microbiology and stable carbon isotope labeling. The thermodynamic analysis shows that CO2-reducing methanogenesis and the methanogenic metabolism of ethanol are mutually beneficial at a low concentration of injected CO2 but inhibited by the high partial pressure of CO2. Our results offer a potentially valuable opportunity for clean bioenergy recovery from CCS in oilfields.

Abstract
Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is an emerging oil extraction technology that utilizes microorganisms to facilitate recovery of crude oil in depleted petroleum reservoirs. In the present study, effects of wheat bran utilization were investigated on stimulation of indigenous MEOR. Biostimulation conditions were optimized with the response surface methodology. The co-application of wheat bran with KNO3 and NH4H2PO4 significantly promoted indigenous MEOR (IMEOR) and exhibited sequential aerobic (O-), facultative (An-) and anaerobic (A0-) metabolic stages. The surface tension of fermented broth decreased by approximately 35%, and the crude oil was highly emulsified. Microbial community structure varied largely among and in different IMEOR metabolic stages. Pseudomonas sp., Citrobacter sp., and uncultured Burkholderia sp. dominated the O-, An- and early A0-stages. Bacillus sp., Achromobacter sp., Rhizobiales sp., Alcaligenes sp. and Clostridium sp. dominated the later A0-stage. This study illustrated occurrences of microbial community succession driven by wheat bran stimulation and its industrial potential.

Abstract
Microorganisms have shown their ability to colonize extreme environments including deep subsurface petroleum reservoirs. Physicochemical parameters may vary greatly among petroleum reservoirs worldwide and so do the microbial communities inhabiting these different environments. The present work aimed at the characterization of the microbiota in biodegraded and non-degraded petroleum samples from three Brazilian reservoirs and the comparison of microbial community diversity across oil reservoirs at local and global scales using 16S rRNA clone libraries. The analysis of 620 16S rRNA bacterial and archaeal sequences obtained from Brazilian oil samples revealed 42 bacterial OTUs and 21 archaeal OTUs. The bacterial community from the degraded oil was more diverse than the non-degraded samples. Non-degraded oil samples were overwhelmingly dominated by gammaproteobacterial sequences with a predominance of the genera Marinobacter and Marinobacterium. Comparisons of microbial diversity among oil reservoirs worldwide suggested an apparent correlation of prokaryotic communities with reservoir temperature and depth and no influence of geographic distance among reservoirs. The detailed analysis of the phylogenetic diversity across reservoirs allowed us to define a core microbiome encompassing three bacterial classes (Gammaproteobacteria, Clostridia, and Bacteroidia) and one archaeal class (Methanomicrobia) ubiquitous in petroleum reservoirs and presumably owning the abilities to sustain life in these environments.

Abstract
The process stability of biogas plants is often deteriorated by the accumulation of Long Chain Fatty Acids (LCFA). The microbial community shifts due to LCFA disturbances have been poorly understood as the molecular techniques used were not able to identify the genome characteristics of uncultured microorganisms, and additionally, the presence of limited number of reference genomes in public databases prevented the comprehension of specific functional roles characterizing these microorganisms. The present study is the first research which deciphers by means of high throughput shotgun sequencing the dynamics of the microbial community during an inhibitory shock load induced by single pulses of unsaturated LCFA at two different concentrations (i.e. 2 g/L-reactor and 3 g/L-reactor). The metagenomic analysis showed that only the microbes associated with LCFA degradation could encode proteins related to "chemotaxis" and "flagellar assembly", which promoted the ability to move towards the LCFA sources so as to degrade them. Moreover, the syntrophic interactions found between Syntrophomonas sp. together with Methanosarcina sp. were possibly assigned to the menaquinone-electron transfer. Finally, it was proven that a previously exposed to LCFA inoculum is more efficient in the degradation process of LCFA due to the specialization of the microbial consortium.

Abstract
CO2 sequestration in deep-subsurface formations including oil reservoirs is a potential measure to reduce the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. However, the fate of the CO2 and the ecological influences in carbon dioxide capture and storage (CDCS) facilities is not understood clearly. In the current study, the fate of CO2 (in bicarbonate form; 0∼90 mM) with 10 mM of formate as electron donor and carbon source was investigated with high-temperature production water from oilfield in China. The isotope data showed that bicarbonate could be reduced to methane by methanogens and major pathway of methanogenesis could be syntrophic formate oxidation coupled with CO2 reduction and formate methanogenesis under the anaerobic conditions. The bicarbonate addition induced the shift of microbial community. Addition of bicarbonate and formate was associated with a decrease of Methanosarcinales, but promotion of Methanobacteriales in all treatments. Thermodesulfovibrio was the major group in all the samples and Thermacetogenium dominated in the high bicarbonate treatments. The results indicated that CO2 from CDCS could be transformed to methane and the possibility of microbial CO2 conversion for enhanced microbial energy recovery in oil reservoirs.

Abstract
Aerobic biodegradation of crude oil and its pathways were investigated via in vitro culture and GC-MS analysis in water flooding wells of Dagang oil field. The in vitro aerobic culture lasted 90 days when 99.0% of n-alkanes and 43.03-99.9% of PAHs were degraded and the biomarkers and their ratios were changed. The spectra of components in the residual oil showed the similar biodegradation between aerobic process of 90 days and degradation in reservoir which may last for some millions years, and the potential of serious aerobic biodegradation of petroleum in reservoir. 24 Metabolites compounds were separated and identified from aerobic culture, including fatty acid, naphthenic acid, aromatic carboxylic acid, unsaturated acid, alcohols, ketones and aldehydes. The pathways of alkanes and aromatics were proposed, which suggests that oxidation of hydrocarbon to organic acid is an important process in the aerobic biodegradation of petroleum.

Abstract
Enterobacter cloacae strain JD, which produces water-insoluble biopolymers at optimal temperature of 30°C, and a thermophilic Geobacillus strain were used to construct an engineered strain for exopolysaccharide production at high temperatures by protoplast fusion. The obtained fusant strain ZR3 produced exopolysaccharides at up to 45°C with optimal growth temperature at 35°C. The fusant produced exopolysaccharides of approximately 7.5 g/L or more at pH between 7.0 and 9.0. The feasibility of the enhancement of crude oil recovery with the fusant was tested in a sand-packed column at 40°C. The results demonstrated that bioaugmentation of the fusant was promising approach for MEOR. Mass growth of the fusant was confirmed in fermentor tests.
