ABSTRACT:
Processes for treating compositions comprising one or more alkanes (for example crude oils) to enhance volume of the compositions are disclosed. The processes comprise introducing into the composition one or more aerobic microorganisms, thereby forming an intermediate composition, and then introducing one or more anaerobic microorganisms into the intermediate composition to form a second composition, and repeating these steps at least once.
