The marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis feeds on oil, multiplying rapidly in the wake of oil spills, and thereby accelerating the elimination of the pollution, in many cases.

Bacteria like A. borkumensis are important for degrading oil pollution, so these findings are of significant interest.
