Headline text[edit]

What does "package" mean here?[edit]

The article says "...anaerobic bacteria which at the same time help to package the remains." Unless "package" has some very specific medical meaning (and if so, a link to another article about it might be called for), then this phrasing is puzzling. It creates the image of the bacteria putting something into boxes. Maybe this really is a good analogy for what is happening (I don't myself know) but if so, I think a little more explanatory text is called for. --Ericjs (talk) 18:33, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
