As to your other point, I stand by my silly headline. I had a bit of fun writing it. Lighten up!

Some strains cause problems but most of them sit harmlessly in your intestines and help digest food.

Second they are not Photosynthetic and they don’t eat cellulose. This means you have to put food in to get them to make the biofuels. This might still work out well (as with some ethanol production) but it is really more of a bio tech demonstration.

Most of the people reading this blog are probably regulars so you don’t need to draw them in with silly headlines.
