Hi Lee and All,
Some fool at I think the U of Fla reengineered
a microbe that can live and survive almost anywhere to
turn biomass into alcohol.
Luckily someone mentioned that if it got loose
it would eat all the biomass in the world so they
stopped it.
Genetic engineering needs to be done only on
organisiums that will multiply only in controlled
conditions.
So lets be careful out there.
