Answer:

Several species of hydrocarbon-eating bacteria, like Alcanivorax borkumensis, feasted on the spilled oil, assisting with the disaster clean-up efforts.

Explanation:

Meet Alcanivorax borkumensis, or A. borkumensis for short. This rod-shaped microbe lives in all of the world's oceans with a special preference for oil-polluted areas, as it uses hydrocarbon molecules for food.

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.

Hope you got correct answer..xd
