DRDO uses bacteria from Antarctica in bio-toilets
Bacteria from Antarctica are being used in bio-toilets developed by Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO), Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said on Tuesday. He added that the bacteria are used to seed bio-digesters. They are used to convert cheaply available cow dung into an odourless final product that does not attract flies, which is fed into bio-digesters, he said.
