Those long chain hydrocarbons that beer drinkers and chili aficionados are noted for may actually have a use other than material for laughs and room clearance.
"Hydrogen Sulfide
is a toxic, flammable, foul-smelling gas that some theorize may have
been at least partially responsible for
some of Earth's mass
extinctions, including the Permian-Triassic event,
which killed well over half of the species on the planet. Now, thanks
to a fortuitous accident, doctoral student at the University of
Washington seems to have discovered that very low doses of the gas seems to greatly enhance plant growth,
causing plants to germinate more quickly and grow larger. The finding
could have far reaching implications for both food and biofuel
production." Wonder about farts?
