Oil Spill Bioremediation Laboratory
Introduction
The primary purpose of this lab is to show how an oil spill can affect our ocean, wildlife,
and the ecosystem. But it is not only large oil spills that impact our oceans. It can be small things
such a leak in a tanker or the why they drilled a hole into the ocean floor. Scientists are looking
at three different ways to help to break down the oil spill so that it is not as hazardous to our
oceans. One of the methods is to use Microbes. “Microbes are a group of bacteria trawled from
the depths of the Challenger Deep can not only survive its extreme conditions but also chomp on
hydrocarbon molecules found in everyday crude oil and natural gas.” (Woodward 2019)
Objective:
The objective of this lab is to show us how breaking down petroleum is a complex
process. In this lab, we are going to be showing how the bioremediation of an ocean oil spill that
is being consumed by microorganisms. We will be using two chemicals to do this one is Rid-X;
this is being used to show the breakdown of the microorganisms. The second chemical is
tetrazolium; this one is going to show us the breakdown of the oil.
Hypotheses:
I would think that if you are pouring the tetrazolium into both tubes 1 and 2 that they are
both going to change color. In tubes 3 and 4, I feel that you will be able to see the breakdown of
the oil in tube four because that is the one with the microbial solution in it. Tubes 5 I will be
putting this tube into a different light then the other tubes to see if this will make the content
change faster or slower. Putting this in a more durable light will break down the oil more
quickly. Tube number 6 is going to be put into a differenttemperature than the rest of the tubes;
this, I feel, is going to slow down the process of breaking down the oil in the tube.
