An isolated microbial consortium is described that includes a first microbial consortium having Thermacetogenium phaeum to metabolize a complex hydrocarbon substrate into metabolic products comprising an acetate compound. The consortium also includes a second microbial consortium having a methanogen to convert the acetate compound into a final product that includes methane. Also, a method of increasing production of materials with enhanced hydrogen content. The method includes isolating Thermacetogenium phaeum from geologic formation water, culturing the isolated Thermacetogenium phaeum to increase the Thermacetogenium phaeum population, and introducing a consortium of the cultured Thermacetogenium phaeum, which may include spores of Thermacetogenium phaeum, into a hydrocarbon formation containing a complex hydrocarbon substrate.
L'invention porte sur un consortium microbien isolé comprenant un premier consortium de Thermacetogenium phaeum servant à métaboliser un substrat complexe d~hydrocarbure en produits métabolisés comprenant un composé d~acétate. Le consortium comprend également un deuxième consortium comportant un méthanogène convertissant le composé d~acétate en un produit final incluant du méthane. L'invention porte également sur un procédé d~accroissement de la production de matériaux à teneur renforcée en hydrogène consistant à isoler le Thermacetogenium phaeum à partir de l~eau d~une formation géologique, à le cultiver pour en accroître la population et à introduire le consortium de Thermacetogenium phaeum cultivé, qui peut contenir des spores de Thermacetogenium phaeum dans une formation d~hydrocarbures contenant un substrat complexe d~hydrocarbures.
