2011 American Academy of Microbiology Report, "Microbes & Oil Spills" [A PDF of FAQ: Microbes and Oil Spills can be found online at http://academy.asm.org/index.php/colloquia-reports/faq-series] The questions considered by the report are: - What does it mean to say microbes can ‘clean up’ an oil spill? - Where do the ‘oil-eating’ microbes come from? - What do the microbes need in order to biodegrade oil and how long does it take? - How do dispersants and nutrients affect oil biodegradation? - Is it possible to engineer microbes so they work even better? - What happens to the oil after the microbes degrade it? - What happens to the microbes when the oil is all gone? |
