I don't know. The Clostridia family kind of scares me. It's the same family that produces botulism and perfringes (gangrene), tetanus, and pseudomembranous colitis (the nasty diarrhea/GI tract destruction people get if they are on antibiotics too much. It's spore and anaerobic properties make it a pest.
That being said, this seems pretty interesting. Always good to see new advancements that don't involve pharm-chemo.
