Looks like E.coli might have a beneficial use after all, making non-fossil-fuel dependent plastic!!

Super cool, of course I am sure there will be some sinister side effect, but still interesting.

E. coli has really really important uses in studying genetics; we'd know almost nothing without it.

This is even cooler than oil and gasoline from algae. Fatality and Ragdoll are right, we learn a lot from E. Coli. Small wonder we're getting another breakthrough from it!

Plastic from bacteria? Sign me up! Granted, the next time you eat tainted lettuce it'll have you shitting LEGOs, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, is it?

i bought fish n' chips from an old greek dude last week who told me he's running an old car engine on grease and oil from his shop!!
Funny geeza - he was paranoid as about the big oil companies coming to get him! Ha!! (good feed too)

i'm still trying to figure out the benefit of making corn into plastic.

i think the sinister side of developing from any microbiology is that it goes without proper regulation.
