    Area of Science:

    • Biotechnology
    • Petroleum Chemistry

    Background:

    • Crude oil fractions can be utilized as substrates in biotechnological processes.
    • The El-Alameen crude oil wax distillate fraction presents unique chemical properties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the potential of the El-Alameen wax distillate fraction as a substrate for microbial biosynthesis.
    • To evaluate the refining and dewaxing effects of bacterial fermentation on the oil fraction.

    Main Methods:

    • Culturing bacteria under specific conditions using the wax distillate fraction.
    • Analyzing the chemical and physical properties of the oil fraction before and after fermentation.

    Main Results:

    • The wax distillate fraction supported bacterial biosynthesis of proteins and/or amino acids.
    • Fermentation led to a refining effect, increasing the refraction index and decreasing the melting point.
    • A significant dewaxing effect was observed in the oil fraction post-fermentation.

    Conclusions:

    • The El-Alameen wax distillate fraction is a viable substrate for microbial protein and amino acid production.
    • Bacterial fermentation offers a dual benefit of biosynthesis and oil refining/dewaxing.
