Bacteria that eat contaminants

Microorganisms that always work face air pollution. According to studies by Mr. Kevin Gray of Energy Biosystems Corporation in the US, a terrestrial bacterium can participate in oil refining to “clean” its sulfur compounds. In fact, when these compounds are burned to engine, sulfur dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere. However, the Rhodococus bacteria breaks down these chemical compounds and results in inert elements. Fuel capacity would not be reduced at all.
