Exactly ! and that's why I said 'if it's true' - because who knows what it will do should it run out of *that* food ? I realize it's anaerobic so it's not a threat to what/ where humans 'operate', but after thinking about Darwin's (and others) evolution/ mutation ideas, and being a *technical- science-fiction* fan, I think "there is more under the sun, Horatio" . . . or however that quote goes . . . although Pandora's box has already been opened by Monsanto (and Co.) with their GE/GM food-crops manipulations. . sigh .
