It gives me an idea that maybe these biodegraders need some sort of matrix or biofilm to hold them on the oil spill, maybe the degraders could be incorporated into a biofilm with clay as some sort of clean up sheet. Future research maybe?Alice Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09523229362794168337noreply@blogger.com
