I read that novel and I think of it every time there is an oil spill. I've been thinking of it a lot these past few weeks....

No one has ever thought of this before, but I think BP has a vested interest in not introducing or advancing such technology. You know-like if you're an ant you don't spend millions of dollars making an anteater /cool analogy

im missing your point and i don't get how the analogy is relevant.

on the flip side, introducing this microbe into the ocean could create a chain of events that ultimately worsens the disaster. much like that dispersant they are dumping in the ocean now that they refuse to release the chemical composition of (b/c they own the patent on it).

like, something that eats oil is eating oil-and if there is a way of recovering it in any way they are better off with it the oil present in one form or another rather than digested.

My girl caught me blowing my meep with the air dryer, and asked what I was doing? Apparently "heating your dinner" wasn't a good answer.
