http://www.tijsat.tu.ac.th/issues/19...9_V4_No1_6.PDF (this article from Thailand tells about how they raise parasitic nematodes on a diet of polymers and animal fat)

ScienceDirect - Biological Control : Effects of combining an entomopathogenic fungi or bacterium with entomopathogenic nematodes on mortality of Curculio caryae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (this article tells about how they "drop" both of these organisms into the environment to control insect pests - in other words, both the fungus and the nematode involved are bioengineered and purposely put into the environment) are we surprised....


https://www.ent.iastate.edu/sip/2008/taxonomy/term/123 (this article tells about how since heterohabdus is relatively short-lived by itself, they increase it's shelf-life by "dessication", i.e., dehydration. This dehydration is accomplished by using a "non-ionic
polymer polyethyleneglycol 600 solution". Yes, we have plastics all over the place...
