Should scientists create a new sieces of bacteria for a purpose such as to clean up oil spills?

yeh they already have. they add sulphur to the water and the bacteria go nuts and eat all the oil. this method is inefficient, though, because the bacteria just die because of the waters salinity levels. at the moment we are actually making a bacteria that is salt tolerant, so it survives in the salt water.

Are scientists able to create specially designed bacteria that decompose toxic waste?
yes
What are bacterias used for medical use?
The importance of bacteria in medicine is to help create vaccines and treatments for bacteria infections. By studying how they function, scientists and doctors are able to quickly combat and defeat them.
How do scientists study how bacteria are affected by antibiotics?
Laboratory scientists culture a bacterium (one single bacteria) so the bacteria grows to a colony. Scientists create many specimens of colonies for each bacteria. Then they can expose each colony to a different antibiotic medication or new antibiotic to see how the bacteria react to it. They look for sensitivity--meaning, any reaction in the growth of the bacterial colony. The growth may have no change (no sensitivity), slow down, or stop. But even better, ingredients in antibiotics need to disrupt the way bacteria use nutrients, so scientists look to see if the bacteria die when exposed to that specific antibiotic.Different groups or families of antibiotics work best on certain bacteria. At the same time, certain bacteria favor conditions only in certain areas of the body. So the bacteria for a skin infection is different from the bacteria that infects the urinary tract, for example.
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.
Which kind of scientists create atomic bombs?
Physicists and nuclear scientists create atomic bombs.
What information can scientists use to create a timeline?
Scientists use data from the past to create a timeline.
When can mutations become adaptations?
When bacteria mutate to adapt to the body, which makes it harder for scientists to create antibiotics for them, as some people stop using antibiotics before the time which the doctors tell them to. This makes the bacteria become stronger against antibiotics.
Can Scientists create life?
No.
Who invented bacteria and why did they do so?
no one is rensponsible to create a bacteria
What does bacteria on the skin create?
Bacteria on the skin created odour.
How scientists test hypothheses?
To test hypotheses, scientists create experiments.
What does bacteria and fungi do?
bacteria can create dairy products, create sickness or cure sickness and fungi are things like mushrooms
