Juan and fellow C-IMAGE graduate students Steffen Hackbusch and Nuttapol Noirungsee combine microbes collected near the Deepwater Horizon site with oil and seawater inside high-pressure reactors that simulate conditions at 1,500 meters depth and 4\u00b0 C. Juan observes the oxygen consumption of microbes and monitors their biodegradation process. When oxygen depletion, he assumes that the microbes have consumed all the oil that they can.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/gulfresearchinitiative.org\/grad-student-viamonte-puts-pressure-microbial-oil-degradation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Full Article<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our own Juan Viamonte, a PhD student from the Hamburg University of Technology-Institute of Biocatalysis, is the newest GoMRI Scholar.
