"Klebsiella planticola" is a bacterium produced by Genetic engineering.The studies about this bacteria were first established in 1984, at the annual Conference of American Environmental Committee. It can ferment molasses into Ethanol, living in the root tips of the corn. The bacterium can adversly affect the growth of the plant.Ref: Bio piracy- Vandana Siva.Sinanu.M.M.
