i find it hard to believe that the environment you are doing your business can be so polluted with petroleum products and you do not think it necessary to sponsor research in environmental bioremediation. Iam an environmental biotechnologistand have produced a very important bioemulsifier with commendable applications in bioremediation and enhanced oil recovery. I am financially constrained with the chemical analytical processes just to recover this biomolecule for detailed study in oil recovery applications and bioremediation of oil impacted agricultural soils. i wonder when oil companies will understand the critical role of microorganisms in major process area or steps and give microbiology its pride of place in the industry. please u could contact me on this number; 07038218972.
