This is a Radio Lab production of a college lab that changed the offensive smell of E.Coli to smell like mint by splicing in genes. They further changed so the E.Coli would smell like banannas when they were mature. What would happen if this strain of E.Coli got out into the public? E.Coli smells bad and we don't eat food that has that odor. If it smells like bannanas, how do we know whether or not our bannans are infected with E.Coli? [|Minty E.
