Discussed the possible strains of bacteria/metabolic pathways that could be made us of in an oil spill

3 Strains of naturally occurring bacteria: psuedomonas putida, alcanevorix, cycloelasticus,
Each can break down certain compoments, e.g. PAHs, Toluene, Xylene, Straight Chain alkanes

Split the problems into 4 solutions:

Distributions/Large Scale Production
Nitrogen Fixation/Phosphorus Supply
Why better than what has naturally evolved
Choke points in the metabolism
