Abstrakt: The article presents a study regarding the optimization and partial characterization of biosurfactants produced by Bacillus species. The study examines the potential of microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) as an effective alternative in Omani oil fields. It revealed that the bacteria has high potential when used during ex-situ MEOR applications, wherein 23 percent of residual oil was produced.
