That is a super interesting idea. Presumably it would bring it's own bacteria though?
Bacteria that breaks down life forms might not be necessary for life. The ancient Forrest's that became oil deposits didn't have bacteria to break them down. This caused them to become oil. It's why there won't be any new oil (naturally occuring).
