3 Characterization of Metagenomic Sequences from a Brazilian Petroleum Reservoir with Introduction Alkanes Crude oil Saturated hydrocarbons Linear alkanes Branched Cyclo alkanes Alkanes are the major components of crude oil and the most abundant and available carbon and energy sources in reservoirs.

4 Characterization of Metagenomic Sequences from a Brazilian Petroleum Reservoir with Introduction Microbial degradation of crude oil in reservoirs BIODEGRADATION Crude oil Heavy oil Increase the oil viscosity Amount of sulfur Acidity Worldwide problem for petroleum industry recovering and refining difficult and costly

5 Characterization of Metagenomic Sequences from a Brazilian Petroleum Reservoir with Introduction Microbial degradation of crude oil in reservoirs Effects on the composition and physical properties of crude oil are well-known Processes of oil biodegradation in petroleum reservoirs, mechanisms, microorganisms or metabolic pathways involved are poorly understood Limited knowledge is due to the use of Culture based methods Access only a small part of microbial communities Continuous isolation of the same species

6 Characterization of Metagenomic Sequences from a Brazilian Petroleum Reservoir with Introduction Pathways for aerobic and anaerobic bacterial alkane degradation Several bacterial strains can degrade alkanes using enzyme systems that have still not been characterized and that may include new proteins not related to those currently known (Rojo, 2009).
