Genetic potential of oil-eating bacteria from the BP oil spill decoded

Microbiologists have cracked the genetic code of how bacteria broke down oil to help clean up the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, revealing that some bacteria have far greater potential for consuming oil than was previously known. The findings have applications for responding to future oil spills. Ref. Source 5s.

Scientists will need to determine if those bacteria will survive in other locations. The bacteria may be a specific variety only found in the Gulf Coast and no where else.

Also they have to make studies how these bacterias may evolve or mutate and if they will be invasive to other species of other regions.

BP oil spill did $17.2 billion in damage to natural resources, scientists find


The 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill did $17.2 billion in damage to the natural resources in the Gulf of Mexico, a team of scientists recently found after a six-year study of the impact of the largest oil spill in US history. Ref. Source 8y.

Deepwater Horizon oil spill: Oil biodegradation inhibited in deep-sea sediments. Degradation rates of oil were slower in the dark and cold waters of the depths of the Gulf of Mexico than at surface conditions, according to an international team of geoscientists trying to understand where the oil went during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

New study shows Deepwater Horizon oil spill larger than previously thought. Toxic and invisible oil spread well beyond the known satellite footprint of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, according to a new study. These new findings have important implications for environmental health during future oil spills. Source 8l.
