[Role of microorganisms in the oxidation of petroleum in the Yarega deposit].
16.57% of oil was oxidized by microorganisms in aerobic conditions in the Yarega deposit. As a result, the specific weight of oil increased and the content of methane hydrocarbons decreased twice. Chemical oxidation of mono-, bicyclic aromatic and mononaphthene hydrocarbons was also found in the control experiment without microorganisms.
