Answer 1

Answer:

it Is alcanivorax

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.

Answer 2

Oil spills in ocean are cleaned with the help of option c - Alcanivorax bacteria.

• There are several causes why petroleum oil spills into the water.
• This oil has the potential to be lethal and harmful to aquatic life.
• Mechanically removing the oil coating from the water's surface is difficult.
• However, pyridines and other compounds can be destroyed by bacteria such Pseudomonas spp. and Alcanovorax borkumensis.
• These bacteria are therefore employed to clean up oil spills.
• The term "hydrocarbon clastic bacteria" refers to them (HCB).
• The hydrocarbons are broken down by HCB, which also causes the carbon-oxygen reaction.
• In this procedure, CO2 and water are produced.

Hence, Alcanovorax borkumensis is used to clean the oil spills in ocean.
