Dealing with obesity often meant diet changes. Now, Duke found a gut bacterium molecule (less in obese people) that helps mice burn fat & reduce harmful visceral fat, without eating less. A unique, microbiome-based path for metabolic health—I'm quietly impressed.
A Sweet Discovery to Fight Obesity: Gut Bacterium Molecule Helps Burn Fat
Researchers at Duke University have discovered that a molecule produced by the human gut bacterium *Clostridium immunis* can help obese mice burn fat more efficiently. This unique sugar molecule, modi

How interesting!
Scientists have engineered a bacterium to eat a tumor from within.
This works because the inner part of solid tumor has zero oxygen.
The bacterium Clostridium sporogenes, an obligate anaerobe, lives in these oxygenless conditions.

A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer.
It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months.
They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.

A character in the game called "Shi" dislikes "Kikky". That is because "Shi" doesn't like vermin. (Maybe thinks Kikky is a bacterium)
Also, for in-game setting purposes, "Kikky" could be thought of as just the cats from the Mike minigames (the Mikes must take care of them when not in use) (?)
