The present invention discloses a process for breaking an emulsion comprising water and oil, comprising the steps of mixing an emulsion consisting of water and oil with a culture, bacterial cells or a culture supernatant of a bacterium belonging to the genus Alteromonas or the genus Rhodococcus capable of breaking an emulsion comprising water and oil; and consequently separating said emulsion into an aqueous layer and oil layer; and, a process for breaking an emulsion comprising water and oil, comprising the steps of mixing an emulsion comprising water and oil with bacterial cells of a bacterium belonging to the genus Aeromonas capable of breaking an emulsion comprising water and oil so as to form an aqueous layer and an aggregated layer consisting of bacterial cells and oil, and then separating these layers.
A demulsifier comprising bacterial cells or a culture supernatant of a bacterium comprising a biologically pure culture of a microorganism belonging to the genus Alteromonas which is Alteromonas MBI #535 (FERM BP-5560) or Alteomonas species MBI #1121 (FERM BP-5561) capable of breaking emulsions comprising water and oil.
A process for breaking an emulsion comprising water and oil, comprising the steps of mixing an emulsion comprising water and oil with a culture, bacterial cells or a culture supernatant of a biologically pure culture of a microorganism selected from the group consisting of Alteromonas species MBI#535 (FERM BP-5560) and Alteromonas species MBI#1 121 (FERM BP-5561).
A process for breaking an emulsion comprising water and oil, comprising the steps of:
A demulsifier comprising bacterial cells comprising a biologically pure culture of microorganisms selected from the group consisting of Aeromonas hydrophila W3C (FERM BP-5558) and Aeromonas hydrophila W3T (FERM BP-5559) capable of breaking an emulsion comprising oil and water.
A biologically pure culture of a microorganism selected from the group consisting of Aeromonas hydrophila W3C (FERM BP-5558) and Aeromonas hydrophila W3T (FERM BP-5559).
A biologically pure culture of a microorganism selected from the group consisting of Alteromonas species MBI #535 (FERM BP-5560) and Alteromonas species MBI #1121 (FERM BP-5561).
