Why Is Richard Bartha Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Richard Bartha is an American microbiologist. He is best known professionally for his seminal discoveries in the field of bacterial pollution control . Life Dr. Bartha and graduate student Ronald Atlas were the first to discover that bacteria are capable of metabolizing petroleum, paving the way for the use of "oil-eating bacteria" to clean up oil spills. Dr. Bartha also made important discoveries regarding the abilities of bacteria to degrade other pollutants, such as pesticides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated organic compounds, and metals.
