Suppose that you've been hired by a firm interested in using bacteria to clean up organic solvents found in toxic waste dumps. Your new employer is particularly interested in finding cells that are capable of breaking a hydrocarbon called benzene into less-toxic compounds. How would you select some bacteria that might metabolize benzene as an energy or carbon source, and how would you test them?
