Scientists have discovered a rod-shaped bacteria that need oil for energy. These bacteria populate the area where the oil spill occurs. ... They are hoping to “harness [the bacteria's] power to help clean up future oil spills”. In the end, microbes are the only true way to remove oil from the ocean.
