Abstract: Methods for enriching microbial populations that are indigenous to oil reservoir fluids to obtain Shewanella-enriched populations and isolated Shewanella strains useful for enhancing oil recovery from an oil reservoir are presented. In addition, the enriched populations may contain bacteria belonging to the Arcobacter genus.

Abstract: Microparticle-based analytical methods, systems and applications are provided. Specifically, the use of resonant light scattering as an analytical method for determining either or both a particle's identity and the presence and optionally, the concentration of one or more particular target analytes is described. Applications of these microparticle-based methods in biological and chemical assays are also disclosed.

Abstract: A unique 16S rRNA profile derived from Dehalococcoides ethenogenes has been identified and isolated. The profile contains several nucleic acid fragments that are linked to dechlorinating activity. These sequences are set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:30, and SEQ ID NO:34.
