The purpose behind this article was to show a new bacteria that can live off caffeine and why we are unable to do so. The article shows that unlike our body, the bacteria breaks the rings of the genetic makeup of caffeine therefore turning it into energy to live off of. We as humans cannot do this just as we cannot digest cellulose that cows can, simply put we do not have the right bacteria to break it down for us. once we learn more of the human microbiome, we might find solutions to digesting such things as cellulose, or caffeine to turn them into energy we can live off of but for now we can not. We can relate this article to the world, their are still many bacteria we have yet to find and many things we still must learn about our body.
