Discovery of Radiation-Resistant Bacteria Aboard China's Space Station
New strain of bacteria is the key turn of phrase. Not at all unusual. 99.9% of terran bacteria are unknown. My PhD not only resulted in new strains, but I found new genera of bacteria. In higher organisms, thats like discovering lizard people. Its not a big deal. First I found one brand new genera, and named it. Then I found another brand new one. Named that as well. Seriously whacky looking bacteria at x1000. Super sensitive to metals, I had to grow them using a plant-derived gelling agent from Dupont, normally used in paints, because ultra high purity agar (which is made from seaweed) had too much metals in it. The gel was a thermo-responsive gel, which meant it liquified when I stuck it in the fridge, leading to unique ways to harvest colonies. Bacteria are ubiquitous; in soil, in water. A mate at Purdue was working in a mine in South Africa, 4kms down, drilling native rock, and found novel bacteria down there. I've worked with bacteria that have required special glassware, as they are so acidophillic, and other bacteria where you have to grow them in a pressure cooker. Up in the clouds, there is a complete ecosystem that directly impacts our climate. Amazing things. -
