Cows are the key for new biofuels

Science professors are using a cow with cannula ( a prement, surgically installed portal) to see what microbes breakdown plant matter. The have found that different micribes attack the plants to break it down. This cause the professors to try and map the microbes in the cow's rumen ( the main main grass-digestion chamber). After they got the map they started to take some DNA of the microbes. With these new developments we might have a chapper source of fuel that is greener too.
