Navigating Natural Source Zone Depletion with QuantArray® NSZD Natural Source Zone Depletion (NSZD) is a complex phenomenon that involves the natural reduction and removal of light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) petroleum hydrocarbons from the subsurface. Microbial Insights Inc. introduces QuantArray® NSZD, a revolutionary tool that uncovers the intricate microbial dynamics behind this process. Let’s explore…
Pioneering Women of Science By Muhammad Mahdi Karim – Own work, GFDL 1.2, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=72964222 Jane Goodall, Primatologist and Conservationist No series on women in science would be complete without the inclusion of Jane Goodall. Born on April 3, 1934, in London, England, she developed a passion for animals and nature from an early…
Microbial Insights is proud to be a woman-owned small business. We would not be where we are today without some amazing women and men who made significant scientific contributions. In celebration of Women’s History Month, we wanted to highlight some of these inspiring women and their pioneering work.
A New Year Microbial Insights’ goal for this year is to expand to new areas, helping current and future clients leverage microbial data to reduce costs, protect assets, care for the environment, and gain an all-around better understanding of whatever situation they find themselves facing. Beyond familiarity with their products and services, MI wants all…
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!
Severe corrosion of carbon steel in oil field produced water can be linked to methanogenic archaea containing a special type of NiFe hydrogenase.
Microbial Insights’s President Dora Taggart provides an insightful overview of how the company works to help the remediation industry.
EnviroWorkshops is hosting an amazing series on the impact of COVID-19 on our industry and we were honored to participate.
