Molecular diversity and abundance of the microbial community associated to an offshore oil field on the southeast of Brazil

Characterization the microbial communities (bacterial and archaeal population) and abundance of sulphate-reducing microorganisms (SRM) of a production water sample with corrosion signals from Brazilian oil reservoir using four hypervariable regions of 16S rRNA sequencing. This steps the microbial community was characterized in all tanks and storage tanks of an oil production platform located on the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro.
