The questions considered by the report are:

- 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?
