I'll have to finish the read, but my first thoughts were the number of organisms we are bioengineering to do specific things, and how they might crossover with other naturally occurring or bioengineered microbes. I remember the plastic-eating microbes found in colder climates[1]. There are other plastic-eating microbes, but they need hotter temps ~86F. These work in cold climates. Visions of the blob with lightning and plastic-eating powers ;)
