| Description:
The bacteria e-coli has been engineered to convert alcohol chemistry into the distinctive and nature identical smell of banana. The banana aroma is based on and closely reminiscent to the stout Gros Michel banana strain which became almost extinct during the mid-twentieth century by Panama disease – an infection caused by the fusarium oxysporum fungus. |
