You are responsible for the bioremediation of soil contaminated by jet fuel. Your coworker suggests you fertilize the soil with nitrogen and phosphorus to promote the growth of naturally occurring hydrocarbon-degrading microbes. However, you just read about a new mixture of microbes sold in a slurry with nutrients and a surfactant. What data do you need to collect to decide which approach would be best? How will you obtain these data?
