Who is this? A school?

Nice find. Did you see this.

"We created fire retardant bacteria, any concerns about the application?
We would like to apply our prototype of fire retardant protein/bacteria to paint and textile industries. We didn’t perform any test with purified proteins so far because of time and cost. We recommend the proteins have better to be purified before any application. If you want to use them as paint, you can just dry and kill them completely like what we did in our test. Furthermore, we’re planning to collaborate with the KraigLabs to make GE silkworm to produce fire retardant fibers by putting the SR genes into the host.
