Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria Isolated from an Oil Field in Kazakhstan and a Description of Pseudodesulfovibrio karagichevae sp. nov.

ABSTRACT: Sulfidogenic bacteria cause numerous issues in the oil industry since they produce sulfide, corroding steel equipment, reducing oil quality, and worsening the environmental conditions in oil fields. The purpose of this work was to isolate and taxonomically identify the sulfidogenic bacteria responsible for the corrosion of steel equipment at the Karazhanbas oil field (Kazakhstan). In this study, we characterized five sulfidogenic strains of the genera Pseudodesulfovibrio, Oleidesulfovibrio, and Acetobacterium isolated from the formation water of the Karazhanbas oil field (Kazakhstan). Sulfate-reducing strain 9FUS^T revealed 98.9% similarity of the 16S rRNA gene sequence with the closely related strain 'Pseudodesulfovibrio methanolicus' 5S69^T
