Roughly 1011 bacteria can be found in every milliliter of human feces, and on a bad day in Reading University's food microbial science unit you can smell every one of them. The stench can be traced to a small sealed room at the far end of the unit's spacious main lab, within which reside numerous models of the human colon. Each model consists of three smallish flasks, suspended at different heights above the bench and connected in sequence by rubber tubing.
