STABLE, SINGLE-PHASED SOLUTIONS OF WATER-IN-OIL MICROEMULSIONS DERIVED FROM CRUDE OIL AND ALLIED PRODUCTS AND WHICH CONTAIN MICROORGANISMS AND/OR PARTS THEREOF

摘要

A stable water-in-oil microemulsion which containsmicroorganisms for carrying out microbiological processesobtained by adding to crude oil an aqueous concentratedsolution of microorganisms cells selected from the groupconsisting of bacteria and eukariotic cells in such a waythat said aqueous solution becomes solubilized in saidcrude oil, the thus-prepared blend being in the form of astable water-in-oil micro-emulsion.
