	  abstract     = {Paraffinic oils were submitted to microbial action. The
microorganisms consisted of bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas sp.
and Bacillus lincheniforms. The alterations in interfacial tension were
determined using a tensometer and applying the hanging drop
technique at room temperature (299 K ±275 K). The alteration in the
constitution of the paraffins was evaluated by means of gas
chromatography. The microbial activity was observed to reduce
interfacial tension by 54 to 78%, as well as consuming the paraffins
C19 to C29 and producing paraffins C36 to C44. The LIFirr technique
made it possible to determine the microbial action quickly.
