canadian DEVELOPMENT
In 1985, Canadian scientists studied oil spills and microbes. They discovered that a fertilizer could be used to modify the cells and make them more productive. Four years later, The Alaskan oil spill occurred. Scientists use their fertilizer on the microbes, making them stronger. They were more productive with their cleaning, making the fertilizer a success. This was a big step forward for the development of bioremediation; it opened a door to making the microbes stronger and more effective.
