Summary Microorganisms have been isolated from a biodegraded crude oil from the Gifhorn trough, Lower Saxony. A non-degraded crude oil, related to the same source rock as the biodegraded one, was inoculated with the microorganisms found and the course of biodegradation thus initiated was followed by gas and liquid chromatographic techniques. The influence of biodegradation on commonly used oil-to-oil correlation parameters was investigated in detail.
