There's a saying, one person's trash is another's treasure.

farts* in this case.

Oooo I smell a technological innovation coming on

TIL I was a "mammalian ruminant". :-)

Could we grow this bacteria to help with our methane leaks in our infrastructure?

I would imagine volume would be the issue

Biofilters with methanotrophs are being explored, but I think the biggest hurdle is capturing the methane in the first place.

So what happens when one throws a match into the termite house?? For science, of course.

And it smells like farts!

Or else, what if it causes us to never smell a fart again? Methane reclamation would start at the industrial level undoubtedly, but you already know someone would introduce bacteria-lined household filters, underwear, sleepwear, bed sheets, and suddenly a fart is never smelled again.

/s farts contain more than just methane and certain stenches would be perceivably unquenchable.

I'm sure they're not that loud.

Imagine having to be the guy whose job it is to put termite bacteria in cows' asses

They eat the match, because termites
