A newly developed super chemical, Toxotene, is developed by Evil Science, Inc. While transporting their latest shipment across the Atlantic Ocean, the Toxotene container on the ship springs a leak, spraying Toxotene into the ocean. As an expert biologist, you are tasked with developing a plan to clean up the spill. Being an organic chemical, what type of bacterial species would you use to clean up the spill? Why?
