What’s funny imo is that we’re not even sure what the pathway for biological production of phosphate is on earth. We just know that it’s associated with certain anaerobic microbial communities in feces, swamps etc. however the reduction of phosphate to phosphite with NADH and the disproportionation of phosphite to phosphine are only exergonic under very limited conditions which are unlikely to obtain in the mammalian gut.
Now of course microbes don’t necessarily have to be producing phosphine as a result of energy capture: it could be a signaling molecule, a toxin, etc. But they’re producing a lot of it.
This isn’t KC. If I wanted KC effort posting like that fucking god awful pole (PBUA there are no poles here) I would have stayed in that fetid sewer called KC
