Cleaning The Sea with Microbacteria

Using nature source to clean the nature is the most appropriate method. When the territorial sea of a country is often marred by the tanker-oil tanker carrying crude oil from some countries to other countries, micro bacteria who live freely in the sea could be used to extract the oil at sea more quickly.

Name of the bio remediation process, which means eliminating pollutants by biological processes. Bio degradation is the decomposition process of oil at sea with biological materials, one with bacteria. Within three years study, it is discovered 182 new species and 53 genera in three areas of the sea territorial which became the main route of tankers, namely the Malacca Strait, Sunda Strait, and the Lombok Strait.

Instead of thinking about materials with chemical substances to clean the sea and ended up re-contaminate, it’s better utilize the wealth of marine bacteria. Fumiyoshi Okazaki, one of the researchers from Japan Nite, presents the research, titled “Diversity and Functional Analysis of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacterial Communities in Coastal Zones of Indonesia.” The study centered on the Straits of Malacca and Lombok Straits mentions the role of Acinetobacter and Alcanivorax a very dominant role in bio degradation. Natural microbes that are responsible for remediation of oil. The population of bacteria are constantly working and levels of n-Alkanes in constantly also decreased after seven days incubation period.
