The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Recent studies have shown that microorganisms and microbial activity in oil reservoirs and the associated production systems are much more prominent than was originally thought. These findings, in conjunction with technological advances in bio-related disciplines, have revolutionized the way we understand and manage these biological processes.Here we present a series of protocols outlining the best practices for handling core and produced fluid material from petroleum reservoirs for isolation of nucleic acids, microbial profiling, and whole metagenome sequencing.
