Nice!

Apparently one organism can use L-glucose, Pseudomonas caryophylli [0]. It's a plant pathogen [1]. No doubt other micro-organisms can as well. So would be a great reset of evolution back to the Cambrian era?

Edit: following this "great chiral collapse", the new evolution is multi-chiral providing a vastly greater range of protein structures, biochemical reactions, etc, etc...

Sweet, I actually love that! Upregulating a plant pathogen feels like it could be disastrous. If I had a better grasp of ecology I'd have thought of more examples like, haha. Might include it in a future iteration if you don't mind!
