Microbes can live in oil

Scientists have discovered that microorganisms living in oil can help researchers clean up oil spills in the future, while also providing clues for the discovery of alien organisms.


Previous cognition was that microbial degradation of oil occurred only on the surface of the oil, but new research has found that microorganisms can also undergo internal degradation activities. The study was conducted by a research team at the Munich Center in Helmholtz, where they observed microbiological activity in asphalt lakes. Asphalt lakes are naturally formed from petroleum, and when the oil rises to the surface, it forms a hard shell, which is called asphalt. Scientists found a lot of active microorganisms in them.
Dirk Schulz said: "We have found many types of bacteria and archaea, which can even be called an ecosystem." These bacteria are actively decomposing petroleum asphalt lakes, both on the surface and inside. This means that one day it can be used to clean up oil spills or groundwater contamination. Of course, this is a follow-up project. The study can also help oil companies avoid the biodegradation of oil, and most interestingly, it can even help scientists find extraterrestrial life.
For example, on Titan, there are hydrocarbon lakes. And these microbes living in asphalt lakes can help scientists understand the ways of living in harsh environments, which increases the possibility of finding life.

Sprinklers are suitable for all kinds of road flushing, trees, green belts, lawn greening, construction of roads, factories and mines, and high-rise building flushing. Howo sprinkler trucks has light and heavy series, capacity cover 6m3~25m3, with drive mode 4x2, 6x4 and 8x4. With sprinkler, dust, high and low spray, pesticide spraying, fence washing and other functions, but also has to carry water, drainage, emergency fire and other functions.
