clipper's remarks: pay attention to the line starting with: "P. aeruginosa is capable of growth in ..."

Clip Source: en.wikipedia.org

P. aeruginosa is often preliminarily identified by its pearlescent appearance and grape-like odor in vitro. Definitive clinical identification of P. aeruginosa often includes identifying the production of both pyocyanin and fluorescein as well as its ability to grow at 42°C. P. aeruginosa is capable of growth in diesel and jet fuel, where it is known as a hydrocarbon-utilizing microorganism (or "HUM bug"), causing microbial corrosion. It creates dark gellish mats sometimes improperly called "algae" because of their appearance.

ScienceDaily (Mar. 23, 2008) — In a study of New Zealand's "living dinosaur" the tuatara, evolutionary biologist, and ancient DNA expert, Professor David Lambert and his team from the Allan Wilson Centre for Molecular Ecology and Evolution recovered DNA sequences from the bones of ancient tuatara, which are up to 8000 years old. They found that, although tuatara have remained largely physically unchanged over very long periods of evolution, they are evolving - at a DNA level - faster than any other animal yet examined.

Peru meteorite crash 'causes mystery illness'

The meteorite impact crater high in the Peruvian Andes is said to be emitting noxious fumes. Photograph: EPA

A fireball streaked across the Andean sky late on Saturday night and crashed into a field near Carancas, a sparsely populated highland wilderness near Lake Titicaca on the border with Bolivia, witnesses said.

The orange streak and loud bang were initially thought to be a plane crashing. When farmers went to investigate, however, they found a crater at least 10m wide and 5m deep, but no sign of wreckage.

"Every organism has an ability to detect whether there is food," he said. "If there aren't enough nutrients around—whether you are a mouse or yeast—you have to come up with plan B, and that is to divert all energy into not aging, because you cannot afford to age while you are not reproducing."

clipper's remarks: sigh. what have we done?

Clip Source: news.nationalgeographic.com

An oil-covered bird takes refuge Thursday on the shore at Fort Baker, which is near Sausalito, California.

Ribbons of oil were spreading through the San Francisco Bay this week after a container ship spilled 58,000 gallons (220,000 liters) of the heavy fuel on Wednesday.

Creative Staircases

stairs are generally pretty boring.

don’t get me wrong: if the staircase gets me from one level to another, it’s succeeded as a design. i just wish they were a bit more exciting.

1. storage staircase

2. musical stairs

3. crooked stairs

4. slide staircase

5. internal log staircase

6. retractable staircase

7. steel ribbon stairs

8. suspended stairs

9. ‘impossible’ spiral staircase

there are many mysteries surrounding the construction of the spiral staircase at loretto chapel and many believe the appearance of it to be a miracle. design-wise, the staircase is extremely impressive - there is no visible central beam to hold the staircase up and no nails have been used during its creation. however the central spiral is so narrow that it does indeed act as a support beam for the staircase.

Current applied research on petroleum microbiology encompassesoil spill remediation (490, 492, 598), fermentor- and wetland-basedhydrocarbon treatment (212, 281, 336, 530, 569), biofiltrationof volatile hydrocarbons (176), microbial enhanced oil recovery(42, 153), oil and fuel upgrading through desulfurization (417,554) and denitrogenation (55), coal processing (102), fine-chemicalproduction (412, 415), and microbial community-based site assessment(394). The roles and practical applications of chemical andbiological surfactants have been widely reviewed (260, 454,529, 643).
