Klebsiella Bacteria Destroy Fields
In another sphere, klebsiella bacteria were genetically altered to
secrete alcohol from the digestion of wood pulp and other organic
material. This organism escaped, infected soil in wheat farmland in
the United States, and destroyed the nutritive bacteria that are
responsible for the fertility of the fields. Whole fields were
rendered sterile, capable of growing wheat only a few inches high.
