Experimental setup of the illite-PstHO.
| Group # | Volume of P. stutzeri Culture (mL) |
Optical Density of Culture (Cell/mL) | Mass of Illite (g) | Mass of Heavy Oil (g) | Volume of MVN (mL) | Duration (d) | Number of Parallel Replicates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0I0 | 0 | 108 | 0 | 0.50 | 40.0 | 56 | 3 |

| P2I8 | 2.0 | 8.00 | |||||
| P2I32 | 2.0 | 32.00 |
Note: See Table 1 for PstHO and MVN. #. P represents P. stutzeri, followed by 0 or 2, which denotes the volume of P. stutzeri culture; I indicates illite, followed by 0, 8, or 32, which shows the mass of illite.
