possibly your next question would be "how do we know that genus has not done so before?"


that is actually a very good point.

what if that genus is only found in the gut of an animal
that never eats foods that contain citric acids or citrates?

and now in the experiment the bacteria are exposed to
citrate's.

it appears that the the Bc251 strain is a
phage lambda sensitive derivative that was "made" by transducing the malB from the K-12 strain W3110.3-5

so the strain was manufactured !
it was not a naturally occurring bacteria.
