Carina Water Management Services provides microbial remediation services using bacteria, viruses, protozoa, algae and fungi to facilitate oxidation and reduction chemical reactions for oil spill cleanup. They have over 30,000 characterized microbes in their inventory. Further work involves genomic and metabolic profiling of the microbes to understand their taxonomic and functional similarities to other known species, allowing for rapid expansion of the inventory and fewer laboratory experiments on new microbes.

3. Microbial Remediation
Used extensively for oil spills, including the BP New Horizons spill
in the Gulf of Mexico

4. Microbes Come in Various
Forms
Bacteria Virus Protozoon Algae Fungus

5. How Microbes Function
Microbes act as either a catalyst
or an electron contributor for a
chemical reaction
Examples of oxidation and reduction
reactions facilitated by microbes

6. Alpha-Omega Bioremediation has over
30,000 characterized microbes

7. Further Work on
Alpha-Omega
Inventory of Microbes
• Genomic Characterization
• Taxonomic profiling
• basic understanding of the
genetic similarity of the microbe
to other known species
• Metabolic profiling
• basic understanding of the
functional similarity of the
microbes to other known species
• Allows the rapid expansion of the
inventory through the discovery of
similar microbes
• Allows for fewer laboratory
experiments to be conducted on
new microbes that express
similarities to know species
