I swear I wrote a story about this bacteria 7 years ago! in my high school! I can't believe that my idea for a story turned into a real thing for real! wow!
Invisible Did you write a fictional story about a bacteria that can do this or did you actually research this bacteria and then write a story about this precise bacteria?
Christian Schaefer it's really funny! in my first highschool year there was a hidden talents discovery event, so lots of students that day gathered and began showing off talents, I gave it a try after a teacher encouraged me because he knows i'm talented with writing, so I wrote a story about an unnamed scientist that visits a certain island to help its residents to heal an unknown new virus, and then he returns home, the funny thing is the second scene in this story that I wrote the protagonist is having a big party with other friends on the ship, while suddenly one of the elder ladies shout out there's an oil on the surface of the sea and we're about to clash with it! the protagonist quickly takes some of his "under testing special bacteria" which in its own turn eats away the oil pollution! that line alone made at that time the teacher that runs the ecology classes to come me face to face to request personally from me to join their club! and so I did! that was about 7 years ago if I recall it now after counting my years yes it was before 7 years ago! do you believe it! when I was 16 years old.
Invisible That is pretty crazy... I thought you read about it somewhere and used it as inspiration of something... but the fact that you came up with it on your own and see it now on here, must be absolutely fascinating for you.
The concept sounds like a good idea but the problem is what type of waste material does the bacteria produce, how long does it take to breakdown the oil, and can it be potentially dangerous to humans and sea life by either affecting the ecosystem negativity or affect sea life and humans negatively if it ends up consumed in some way much in the same way mercury affected sea life and in turn humans.
Ideally, the complete metabolism should produce carbon di oxide and water. But incomplete metabolism can produce intermediate hydrocarbons that may be harmful. So, it depends if scientists can guarantee complete metabolism.
Good conceptual idea for oil spills. Though the question that I pose to you all is what are going to be the problems when this bacteria cannot be controlled after it does its job and just continues to grow out of control so as to do more harm to the seas, oceans, and environment in general?
That could be the ase if foreign or invasive bacteria are used. But since they are focussing on local bacteria to get this done, their must be other creatures which can keep their numbers less. Also when the oil spill is cleaned up, there is less oil for bacteria to feed, lowering population
This is why it hasn’t been used yet on such scales. It’s too dangerous without extensive research. We’ve all seen what happened when species get introduced to something else’s eco system
yea i just saw a video abt them. oyster mushroom is a kind of fungi, not exactly an oyster. fungi is a decomposer, so they feed on these contaminant and organic material so thats why they can clean them up!
phytoremediation uses green plants to render contaminants harmless. cleanup is limited to the root zone and cannot be used with contaminants that are readily leachable or highly toxic. to me, this form of remediation is most similar to phytoremediation (the plants essentially are immune to the toxicity) although they later talk about more research to remediation techniques to use for the actual spills
The problem that the oil-eating bacteria likes to eat flesh as well. Animals or humans no matter Its very agressive and highly contagious, it can spread even by simple showerrain and if it reach lakes and revers - say bye-bye to our civilisation.
I need this bacteria on my face.
Rick C me too :)

Nice

the protagonist quickly takes some of his "under testing special bacteria" which in its own turn eats away the oil pollution!
that line alone made at that time the teacher that runs the ecology classes to come me face to face to request personally from me to join their club! and so I did!

Irina Ermakova in her interview to Andrey Karaulov says that this kind of bacteria is the reason of COVID-19
the reason is actually that chinese guy who ate a bat lol don't @ me
Hello

Yup, it's going to break down anything it comes in contact with. Flesh eating bacteria.
If any mutation is occure to the bacteria to turn to his habbit to eating oil. There is no oil left💯💯
@@dazedvirgo5828 you obviously don’t understand anything… what you just said is soooooo moronic

exactly

oyster mushrooms also eat oil (hydrocarbons) allot of myceliums do.
are you sure thta oyester eat oil??
yea i just saw a video abt them. oyster mushroom is a kind of fungi, not exactly an oyster. fungi is a decomposer, so they feed on these contaminant and organic material so thats why they can clean them up!
Here in 2023!
It has been 2 years but nothing has changed
what waste do they produce?
Hmm, good question.
Well done,keep this great job
I heard a theory that bacteria that help cleanup oil spills can escape into land and eat oil based food or equipment in land. Is this true?
But is it still being used now?
I am very glad and happy to see that people actually care about this earth we live in... Cuz honestly I be gettin' too busy dawwwwwwg :D
could this possibly take out the world's oil supply
what happens to bacteria when remediation is complete?
And then, it will eat anything else in the water, from the inside out.
so, is that called "phytoremediation"?

Why am I reminded of Jackie Chans movie the Spy next door
Can you go into the wate
Could be it's been going on forever
Time to spill some oil!
Everything from nature
Make by nature
Fix by nature
And human break them all
Y'now what i mean
please write what they said in video ?
turn on subtitles
Bandaid*
Magnestism, use fine magnetic dust and then collect the oil from the surface of the water using a magnet.
GrowingDownUnder if it was on land than fungi can clean up the oil, unfortunately large spills are not an easy task to clean regardless of method.
GrowingDownUnder hemp fibres also work better than milkweed fibres
God I love science!
God means science.....check in India.....

Lipolytic bacteria!!!???? Great...
Research is going on?
what else do you know?
Uh hum whatever
wheres kumar?
1st yes
It's good the bacteria is in the plant and not in the water or else we will need to elect the green party if there is no oil.
