1. A method for altering the wettability of a hydrocarbon coated surface comprising:
a) providing a hydrocarbon-coated surface; b) providing a medium selected from the group consisting of:
i) a cell-containing medium comprising one or more Shewanella sp.; andii) a conditioned medium which is substantially cell free and which has been in contact with one or more Shewanella sp.;wherein the Shewanella sp. comprises a 16S rDNA comprising SEQ ID NO:21, SEQ ID NO:23 and SEQ ID NO:28; and c) contacting said hydrocarbon-coated surface with the medium of b) wherein the medium alters the wettability of said hydrocarbon-coated surface. |
