Happy Microbial Monday! Todays microbe is Alcanivorax borkumensis. This marine bacterium thrives on hydrocarbonsâcompounds found in crude oilâand rapidly multiplies when oil is present, helping to break it down and detoxify the environment. It played a key role in the natural response to disasters like the Deepwater Horizon spill.
