Indigenous microorganisms residing in oil sands tailings biodegrade residual bitumen
2018-01-01
Xiaoxuan Yu, Korris Lee, Bin Ma, Evelyn Asiedu, Ania C. Ulrich
The purpose of this study was to determine the capacity of indigenous microbes in tailings to degrade bitumen aerobically, and if acetate biostimulation further improved degradation. Fluid fine tailings, from Base Mine Lake (BML), were used as microbial inocula, and bitumen in the tailings served...
