Brown and Nobles say their cyanobacteria can be grown in production facilities on non-agricultural lands using salty water unsuitable for human consumption or crops.

So if this bacteria is released into the oceans will they become a gel-like form of cellulose also?

Does the article say what these little suckers eat to get the carbon to make the sugars and cellulose?

So, what more news do we have on the reports about a bug modified from those in the stomachs of ruminants, which bug makes hydrocarbon chains. If that really works, making alcohols is a waste of time.

Note the conspicuous absence of any cellulose or sugars on the surface of these cells.

Oh yeah. I noticed that straight away. Can't fool me.

Doesn't say in the article - I assumed carbon dioxide dissolved in the water.
