How can get your oil glands to produce oil?

What are oleophilic bacteria?
Bacteria that "eats" oil for nutrients.
How are microbes used to extract more oil?
yes.
What is the scientific name for marine bacteria?
Marine Bacteria - We're using bacteria as one of the tools to clean up oil spills. These bacteria chow on the oil, turning it into carbon dioxide and other harmless by-products.
What type of bacteria can break down oil?
Bacteria that can digest oil clean up environmental pollutants like
How did they produce oil eating bacteria?
There are naturally occurring bacteria that can live in or on crude oil They have taken a strain of one of these types and bread it to be more aggressive and oil consuming.
What is oil eating bacteria?

How do scientists produce oil-eating bacteria?
When A. borkumensis bacteria use alkanes as their source of energy, each cell forms a biosurfactant (other sources of energy do not cause the bacteria to produce this biosurfactant). A biosurfactant is an extra layer of material forms along the cell membrane. The substances that make up the biosurfactant of A. borkumensis can reduce the surface tension of water, which helps with the degradation of oil. They are also emulsifiers, which further serve to break up the oil/water emulsion, making oil more soluble. A. borkumensis forms a biofilm (a wall of cells) around an oil droplet in seawater and proceeds to use biosurfactants and metabolism to degrade the oil into a water-soluble substance.[4]
What causes the disappearance of oil?
Hydrocarbon eating bacteria
What are fuels created by bacteria?
Bacteria in combination with organic material can produce methane gas. The addition of bacteria to heavy oil deposits to produce methane gas is new research, but it certainly looks promising. Bacteria does not create gasl on its own, but rather transforms the organic material into gas. I've included one link, where scientists claim that bacteria may be used to create oil, but I am not aware of any commercial applications. See links.
What is the purpose of transgenic bacteria?
To make bacteria with new abilities. Like eating oil.
Have Scientists produced bacteria that can digest oil?
Yes it has. today , naturally occurring strains of oil-digesting bacteria are used to clean up oil spills
Current topics in bio-technology for poster presentation?
cervical cancer oil eating bacteria to clean oil spills.
How do you get skin diseases?
flesh eating bacteria is spread through close personal contact. butthat does not mean that if you hug someone you will get a flesh eating virus.
What created oil-eating bacteria?
Nature. The oceans have been leaking oil for millennium, and if these organisms didn't exist, every beach in the world would be covered in oil.
What is ochrobactrum anthropi?
Ochrobactrum Anthropi is simply a bacteria that helps clean up many enviromental spills. For example, this bacteria is commonly used by scientists to clean up oil spills. The bacteria helps eat it, and then converts it into harmful substances.
