  Ever thought about biosurfactants helping to enhance contaminant degradation? Want to utilize Microbially Enhanced Oil Recovery?  Now we can quantify many of the organisms known to have this capability!! During environmental cleanup, hydrophobic contaminants can become bound to soil particles making them difficult to remediate. To increase contaminant desorption, natural surfactants can be utilized in…

  Discovery and Assay Development of the micH Gene, a Novel MIC Biomarker Despite the long-standing association between methanogens and microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of oil and gas pipelines, neither the type nor abundance of the detected methanogens was correlated with the perceived severity of corrosion. Recent combined efforts have resulted in the discovery and assay…

As we reflect on the past 30 years, we fondly remember several key moments. There were so many highs and occasionally challenges and forks in the road that brought us to where we are today, and we are eternally thankful for your support.  We celebrate you with this milestone anniversary, and we cannot wait to share what’s in store in the future!
