no no we said 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 plastics
So we have bacteria to make plastics and bacteria that eats plastics. Put those little guys ass to mouth and collect the heat! Infinite energy!
The Bacterial Centipede
Only one mouth to feed…
😅 who thought that was a good idea
What’s wrong with this? Seems like a useful idea. I don’t think this works outside of a controlled environment.
You’re right, it is definitely a useful idea. Like treadful mentioned my first thought was now we will have bacteria creating microplastics in our environment.
The risk of them being released to the wild.
Lab bacteria like this almost never can exist outside of very specific environmental parameters.
almost never
So you’re saying there’s a chance!?
Let’s hope it doesn’t at least. We don’t need more sources of microplastics.
Now I can actually create the microplastics inside my body!
