And molds are heterotrophic too—mirror molds would starve to death unless they found mirror carbs or mirror proteins to eat, right?
(not necessarily—glycerol, glycine and many fats are achiral, so the nutritional value of non-mirror food to mirror heterotrophs wouldn’t be quite zero)
I think you can add mirror enzymes which can break down mirror carbs. Minimally we are aware of enzymes which break down mirror glucose.
