Best book I read in my time before a teen. A top ten of any I ever read.

Be very careful what you ask for.

Just like bacteria that eats oil in the ocean, there are bacteria that feast on plastic.

A quick search produced: Pseudomonas, Escherichia, and Bacillus genera. I do not need a government grant to know that we could grow tons of these and let them eat. I imagine they are a tad less expensive than machines.

One of my favorite stories about microbes and bacteria involved the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. A massive amount of oil naturally seeps into the ocean from the ocean floor. It is natural. It is food for some organisms. One of the many microbes that dine on oil is Alcanivorax borkumensis. When the government brainiacs tried to questimate the total amount of oil released into the Gulf of Mexico during the Deepwater Horizon accident, they could not find almost half of the questimate. Other scientists investigated. Along with the large underwater plumes of oil were, surprise, surprise, large plumes of the bacteria that eats oil.

I wonder what these “microbiotic swarms” will do to the fish and other aquatic life....

Reminds me of a vaccine that was created with nanoparticles that would hunt down and kill the coronavirus. How’d that turn out again?

What could go wrong?

Microplastics are now ubiquitous horrible disease inducing pollutants.
