For one thing synthetic genomics is not the same as genetic engineering.

 

That's just a scare tactic.

 

 

The title of the actual scientific report cited by this article's source:

 

Deep-Sea Oil Plume Enriches Indigenous Oil-Degrading Bacteria

 

Somehow a local beneficial bacterium has become an evil GM Bacterium...

Suspected some good old fashioned fear mongering. Thanks so much for the input. I'll read the report.

Hi guys,

I know absolutely nothing about science but this forum is truly fantastic.

Have been lurking for a while, but had to finally create a thread on an issue that really troubles me and I don’t fully understand – the creation of Genetically-modified (GM), oil-eating bacteria introduced into the Gulf as part of the BP’s oil disaster remediation efforts (article pasted below).

Clearly, this is headed for a disaster. Where can I find more info on this? Thoughts, comments… There’s very little mention of this in the media.
