[Serious] Literal and Not Literal

Which isn't far fetched either. I think there are bacteria that produce toxins against members of their own kind, a genetic free for all.

Just wanted to provide a reference for my above statement since I just got home and can finally do so.

Reference: Riley, M. A., and J. E. Wertz. 2002. Bacteriocins: Evolution, ecology, and application. Annual Review of Microbiology 56: 117–137.

Any person that has produced wine knows this. When you put the grapes with juice and depending if you want to make red or white put in the engaço (sorry if not the english word for it). After that, sift the juice that has lactobateria in in into wood barrels and voila, wine that depending on the temperature gives you more or less alcohol. Why? In anaerobic conditions, those bacteria produce poo to them as what we call alcohol, until they get into so much squalor (the alcohol) that they die off and fermentation ends.

Then you bottle it up and sell at restaurants.

For further education google aerobic and anaerobit fermentations, you might find why you get sore after not exercising for a long time.
