Nature has more tools than just bacteria to breakdown long chained 
hydrocarbons.  For example, there are fungi which are selective for phenolic 
bonds which make the energy necessary to breakdown normal hydrocarbons seem 
small by comparison.

Nature has developed the tools necessary to accomplish the breakdown of most 
organic matter.  Just don't feed them freon based materials because they 
have only recently been invented and nature does not have the benefit of 
eons of time to develop the solution.
