I wonder if the feces of certain alien species is like some serious gourmet shit to humans. And vice versa. Can we make a closed shit-eater ecosystem with a few species?
I know this is an old post, but it couldn’t be a closed system, because you’re losing energy through the act of digestion. 2000 calories of food are turned into 600 calories of poop (or whatever the numbers are).

There’s a coffee we make from the shit of this South American cat
Yeah, I had kopi luwak in mind with this comment, although technically, people consume the undigested beans, clean off all the poo content :(
We already do. Plants excrete CO2, humans breathe it in and vice versa.:-)
That’s respiration, I’m talking specifically defecation. I want alien poop! >:(
Well don’t let me stop you… :-P Chase your dreams!
You can’t!
