Answer:
Oil spills are a form of pollution in which liquid fuels, like petroleum are spilled on water, land or air. Oil spills usually occur in oceans where there is accidental leakage of oil. It is harmful to the aquatic life as it reduces the availability of oxygen and would eventually result in their death. It is difficult to clear out oil spills as the methods used are not much efficient and take a lot of time. To solve this issue, a new approach has been developed which uses bacteria known as hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (HCB) for this purpose. These group of bacteria are capable of degrading pyrimidines and other chemicals. They convert hydrocarbons to CO2 and oxygen. Pseudomonas sp. and Alcanovorax borkumensis are used for this purpose.
