So it might be something that provides a rare nutrient or an enzyme that – degrades a metabolite that would be otherwise toxic or vice versa makes something that promotes growth or something that's anti Pathogenic, maybe like as you're pointing out, Vincent, from that recent episode of TWIM, the collisions or interactions between beneficial microbes and pathogenic ones, maybe you code something to block a pathogenic one in its presence.

I guess they used B. subtilis as a common soil bacterium, right? That could be one of the candidates and then you would sprinkle it in with your…
