Or else, what if it causes us to never smell a fart again? Methane reclamation would start at the industrial level undoubtedly, but you already know someone would introduce bacteria-lined household filters, underwear, sleepwear, bed sheets, and suddenly a fart is never smelled again.

/s farts contain more than just methane and certain stenches would be perceivably unquenchable.

Could we grow this bacteria to help with our methane leaks in our infrastructure?

Biofilters with methanotrophs are being explored, but I think the biggest hurdle is capturing the methane in the first place.
