Abstract

Oil recovery is a challenge and microbial enhanced oil recovery is an option. We theorized that the use of produced water (PW) with photo-stimulation could influence both production and viscosity of Xanthan gum. This study aimed at the evaluation of the effect of photo-stimulation by λ630 ± 1 ηm LED light on the biosynthesis of Xanthan gum produced by Xanthomonas campestris IBSBF 2103 strain reusing PW of the oil industry. We assessed the effect of photo-stimulation by LED light (λ630 nm) on the biosynthesis of Xanthan gum produced by X. campestris in medium containing produced water. Different energy densities applied during the microbial growth phase were tested. The highest production was achieved when using 12 J/cm
