such as microbes that are used to solve oil spills problem

Pseudomonas sp have been documented in the 40s.  Generally they just use 'soil bacteria', as many gram negative bacteria can adobt to feeding off petroleum as a food source.

Biotechnology employs the use of microorganisms like bacteria and yeasts and biological substances like enzymes in various industrial and manufacturing processes. Generally, biotechnology has applications in agriculture, food science, and medicine. These various applications include: \n\nUse in drugs, synthetic hormone, and bulk foods \n\nUse in the conversion of organic waste \n\nUse of some genetically altered bacterial forms in cleaning up oil spills.

These bacteria probably have the lux gene which codes for bioluminesence. A resonable mechanism that would cause this to arise is mutation. These lighted cells would probably have benefited some how from glowing in the dark. Some deep sea fishes have bacteria which code for this gene (Vibrio fischer) Which may have helped these fish find food in the dark waters. Thus those fishes without this gene would have died out because of natural selection. What you could do is put these fishes with the bacteria that glow in the dark in the same pool of dark water as the fishes without this gene. Then provide a limited food source so that not everyone could receive food and only the strongest would survive. If the fishes without this bacteria eventually died out but the others stayed alive, you have proven your hypothesis. If not, then failure willl be an obsticle to overcome.\n\nHope i was helpful

Cars that run on water. People are fed up with this oil madness, and the environment will require it.

Even single celled organisms engage in an exchange of genetic material, aka s e x.  One organism extends a pili and genetic material is exchanged between it and another microbe that lacks a pili.

There is a term in biology called Homeostasis, what it basically says is that a biological system will maintain itself in equilibrium suited to the environment. Small organisms can reproduce at rates that are astonishing, if the environment could support a large increase in population, the plankton would naturally increase their numbers. Actually most biologists think that organisms reproduce at rates larger than the environment can handle, and the die off of the organisms that environment can't handle is part of natural selection.\n\nSo long story short, as nice as it would be to produce micro-organisms to handle our carbon output, I don't think it's actually feasible to do. I don't have any actual numbers, but it would be interesting to know the amount of plankton-like organisms we would need to curb our carbon output, I bet the actual number itself would be astonishing and impossible to do, at least in any meaningful time-frame.

You can study this topic for an entire semester in a college class!  I did, and it cannot be explained in a few words.  \n\nWhat people are doing is changing the face of the earth and in the process we are destroying the places other creatures and plants live.  In our mad pursuit of things and riches and greed, we do whatever we want to get our way.\n\nIndustries make garbage, some of it is lethal, some is liquid.... guess where many liquids go?  Into streams. In my country, the USA, there are laws against such waste going into streams, but guess what?  Many companies dump their waste anyway because it's quick and easy.  Multiply this dumping around the world....\n\nDo you, as a citizen, consider how you pollute just by what you have in your own house?  \n\nNow, tying all of the above into marine ecosystems:   Streams run down hill. Ultimately, pollutants wind up in the oceans.  Businesses along coastlines often dump their wastes directly into the ocean.   \n\nIn our mindless pursuit of material possessions, we import a massive amount of material from poor nations where labor is cheap and pollution is rampant (few or no environmental protection laws in many poor nations).  The goods come via the ocean on huge, polluting ships. Those ships flush their sewage into the sea. They enter harbors and dump their wastes and that waste carries all sorts of things in it.  Some of that waste includes little sea living organisms that are native to waters halfway around the world, and those organisms start interfering with the new location where they got dumped.\n\nOver fishing?  Catch too many fish and the numbers decline. Not enough mama fish to lay eggs. Polluted waters make breeding more difficult.  Most fish live in shallow waters, and shallow waters are usually near land. People pollute the waters where they live... so we harvest the fish, we pollute the water, and the fish can't reproduce fast enough.\n\nAdd to the mix oil... oil spills, and runoff, and all the many things we make from petroleum... \n\nEarth is one big organism, and all of it's parts work together. People think to rule the earth and change it and ultimately, we most likely will kill the earth and most of it's creatures from our pursuit of things and our lack of controlling the horribly toxic wastes our factories make.

antibiotics?\n\nAntibiotics represent a group of the industrially important compounds used for the treatment of human and animal infectious diseases. With the rapid evolution of the multi-resistant pathogens the need for new antibiotics is growing. Among the several thousand of different antibiotics discovered so far, more than two thirds are produced by bacteria. With today's knowledge of the genetics and biochemistry of the bacterial antibiotic synthesis it becomes possible to make new antibiotics with improved properties via genetic engineering of the producing organisms. We are studying antibiotic biosynthesis and its regulation in Streptomyces  bacteria, both for the purpose of improving the production levels and with the aim of creating new antibiotics. In particular, we are taking advantage of the nystatin biosynthetic genes, which we have recently cloned from the Gram-positive bacterium Streptomyces noursei . Our goal is to study the process of nystatin biosynthesis in this bacterium, and to create new antifungal antibiotics.\n\n\nAntibiotics are produced industrially by a process of fermentation, where the source microorganism is grown in large containers (100-150,000 litres or more) containing a liquid growth medium. Oxygen concentration, temperature, pH and nutrient levels must be optimal, and are closely monitored and adjusted if necessary. As antibiotics are secondary metabolites, the population size must be controlled very carefully to ensure that maximum yield is obtained before the cells die. Once the process is complete, the antibiotic must be extracted and purified to a crystalline product. This is simpler to achieve if the antibiotic is soluble in organic solvent. Otherwise it must first be removed by ion exchange, adsorption or chemical precipitation.

Hmmm... judging by your interest in cleaning products and dishwashing detergents, I'm guessing you're in that industry or just a student looking for some answers for a project.\n\n-Insufficient data - \nAre you referring to dishwater in a more sterile kitchen or a dirty restaurant?  Is the piping clean or are we talking rusty piping?  Filtered water or non filtered water? Hmmm... so, at STP you want to figure out this. \n\nHere's what you would need.  First figure out the type of microbes that would typically exist in your sink.  Or if you don't have one, get some kind of bacteria.  Take the whole thing, perform your experiment.  Take some water samples.  Finally, send the water samples to a lab immediately for a count.  You could get a concentration of microbes per given volume.  My advice -- it's all I can do.

There are two major reasons - one is the increasing development of "biofuels" and the other is biological methods to perform site cleanup and petroleum-contaminated sites

there is water ..\n\nthere is some bacteria life ... \n\nmost planet look almost the earth ...\n\nhave  nitrogen  and  hydrogen and littel oxygen\n\ngood luck to ur project

Mmmmmmmm....microbes.

It could be that lol or it may be due to the bacteria that lives within the body of water, such as blue algae. :)
