A Bacteria That Likes Radiation (Dec 12 2003 16:56 GMT) - BBC Science -- US scientists have decoded and analysed the genome of a bacterium which could help clear up radioactive waste and possibly even generate electricity. The Geobacter species has genes that allow it to convert uranium and other radionuclides dissolved in water to solid compounds that can be extracted. Its ability to manipulate electrons in metals could form the basis of a bio-battery, the US Energy Department says. The genetic research on the bug is reported in the journal Science. The organism, called Geobacter sulfurreducens, was found in a soil sample in Oklahoma that was contaminated by hydrocarbons - the breakdown products of fossil fuel combustion. |

Oldest Marsupial Ancestor Found (Dec 12 2003 16:56 GMT) - BBC Science -- A mouse-sized fossil found in China may be the oldest ancestor of modern marsupials - the mammal family that includes kangaroos and koalas. The creature, which was unearthed in Liaoning province, extends the ancestry of marsupials by 50 million years. The stunning specimen preserves an imprint of the animal's coat of hair and analysis of its feet suggests it was adapted to climbing in trees. Details of the find are reported in the latest edition of the journal Science. Sinodelphys szalayi, as the new species has been named, lived alongside the dinosaurs in the early Cretaceous Period. |
