A team from the University of Exeter, with support from Shell, has developed a method to make bacteria produce diesel on demand
Most E. coli are harmless or even beneficial, but the bacteria get a bad rap because of toxin-producing strains such as 0157:H7. Scientists at the University of Exeter in England are using E. coli to produce another toxic product, but in this case a good one — diesel fuel. According to the university release, theEvery beef producer in Manitoba has a stake in seeing TB eradicated in the area around Riding Mountain National Park
Farm groups often bemoan the fact that it can be difficult to work with governments. You will also often hear associations complain that one department is pursuing objectives that are diametrically opposite to the initiatives of another branch of government.

However, it is also true thatAntibiotic-resistant E. coli will survive in the soil to recolonize in a cow’s gut through pasture, forage or bedding
Washington State University researchers have found an unlikely recipe for antibiotic-resistant bacteria: Mix cow dung and soil, and add urine infused with metabolized antibiotic. The urine will kill off normal E. coli in the dung-soil mixture. But antibiotic-resistant E. coli will survive in the soil to recolonize in a cow’s gut through pasture, forage or
