Instead of killing germs, however, Grubbs supplies them: bacteria to dissolve grease, tar, and sludge; bacteria to control odors at smelly food factories; and now, bacteria that eat toxic waste. Some of Grubbs’ bugs–short for “bacteria under guidance and supervision”–will munch their way through garden-variety gasoline spills.
