Question

Complete the given paragraph by filling the blank spaces from the options given in the bracket.
[oxygen, pyridines, mechanical, CO\(_2\), petroleum, fatal, polyester,norcadia]
Spilling of ___ oil occurs in ocean due to various reasons. This oil may prove and toxic to aquatic organisms. It is not easy to remove the oil layer from surface of water by ___ method.
However, bacteria like Pseudomonas spp. and Alcanovorax borkumensis have the ability to destroy the  and other chemicals. Hence, these bacteria are used to clear the oil spills. These are called as hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (HCB). HCB decompose the hydrocarbons and bring about the reaction of carbon with  _ and water is formed in this process.

Hint:

Bacteria like \textit{Pseudomonas} and \textit{Alcanovorax} play a vital role in clearing oil spills through biodegradation by utilizing hydrocarbons.

Answer 1

Spilling of petroleum oil occurs in ocean due to various reasons. This oil may prove fatal and toxic to aquatic organisms. It is not easy to remove the oil layer from the surface of water by mechanical method.
However, bacteria like Pseudomonas spp. and Alcanovorax borkumensis have the ability to destroy the norcadia and other chemicals. Hence, these bacteria are used to clear the oil spills. These are called hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (HCB). HCB decompose the hydrocarbons and bring about the reaction of carbon with oxygen and CO\(_2\), and water is formed in this process.
