Microbiologists from the University of Essex, UK are exploring the use of microbes to break down and remove toxic compounds from heavy crude and oil sands. However, the process of oil extraction and subsequent refining produces high concentrations of toxic byproducts. This water is contained in large settling or tailing ponds.
