Biodegradation of petroleum via fermentation.

Liu, D
Biotechnology (pp. 103-134)
1985
Cheremisinoff PN and Ouellette RP (Eds)

The growth of microorganisms on petroleum hydrocarbons has received
considerably attention because of the possibility of producing
single-cell-protein from petroleum for animal feed or human food uses.
Moreover, the prospects of utilizing hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms
for the treatment of refinery waste as well as for the clean-up of oil spill
have promoted research endeavors in various aspects of petroleum
biodegradation. Because of the voluminous research on the subject of
petroleum biodegradation, no attempt will be made to carry out an exhaustive
search and review of all the literature. Instead, this chapter will focus on
the practical aspects of petroleum biodegradation and the related processes.
The literature data will be presented in 12 tables and it is hoped that this
approach will assist in coalescing the diverse subjects into a coherent
framework, which will be useful to scientists and engineers in the field of
petroleum fermentation.

The current craze to turn food stock into fuel is evocative of some kinds of
metabolic disregulation. Enzymatic evolution eliminated such useless cycles
eons ago. Mother Gaia is surely displeased with the current generation of
environmentalists. Maybe she will cleanse the earth with fire or ice, this
time.
