andygatesRemember Medicine Man, the iffy Sean Connery rainforest movie? Ponytailed Sean played a boffin who discovered a unique rainforest flower which contained the cure for cancer. The Evil Developers wanted to clearcut the area, and thus the movie played out: destroy not the wilderness, for it contains wondrous things. Cheesy, but I kinda liked it.
Well, screw cancer, nobody gives a damn about that. What we're worried about these days is sweet sweet fuel, and hey, it looks like they've found a cure for that: a fungus that eats cellulose and craps diesel. Watch for a dozen biotech startups scrambling to deconstruct little old Gliocladium roseum and get it's interesting bits in a big enzyme reactor.
And a sequel to Medicine Man? Who knows?
