Abstract

We evaluated the microbial communities in acetate-rich production waters from separators of a high-temperature gas-petroleum reservoir in Higashi-Niigata, Japan. Bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA gene libraries constructed from these waters were dominated by Acetobacterium-, Methanofollis-, and Methanosarcina-related sequences. The libraries constructed from enrichment cultures of the production waters were dominated by sequences related to the Acetobacterium- and Methanofollis-related sequences.
