Agrofuel Research Operations

 was a laboratory located in Yorkshire.

In 2017, Douglas and Erica were working with a sample of R planticola. However, Douglas misplaced a decimal point while specifying the dosage of the EC 31 enzyme, which resulted in a bacterium that could quickly destroy plants and even kill a human, just by entering in contact with it.

The lab was on the UNIT watchlist and the Monks predicted that within a year, the bacteria created at the lab would wipe out all life on Earth. With the help of Nardole, the Twelfth Doctor determined the lab to be the location of the world-ending bacteria. Shortly before the lab's automatic venting procedure would release the bacteria into the atmosphere, the Doctor set up an explosion that destroyed half the lab and the bacteria.
