 Oil spills cause devastation to the environment killing sea life, birds, and coastal plants. Spraying areas of contamination with oil-eating microbes accelerates the degradation of the oil. This process is known as bioremediation. In this open-ended experiment, students will grow a mixture of oil-eating bacteria and observe their effectiveness at degrading a variety of oils.

 Kit includes:

• Instructions
• Oil-eating bacteria
• Growth medium
• Pipets

 Requirements:

• Shaking incubation oven (optional) or stir plate and stir bars
• Growth flasks
• Vegetable oil (or other food oils)
