Bacteria harness viruses to distinguish friend from foe

Bacterial cells that normally colonize our guts can distinguish themselves from other bacterial species using what's traditionally considered their enemy -- a virus. Researchers report that some bacteria use viruses that have infected them (i.e., phages) for self-recognition and thereby show greater fitness, repelling competitors that lack this adaptation. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190416132121.htm

New compound allows bacterial communication to be controlled by light

Scientists have succeeded in incorporating a light-controlled switch into a molecule used by bacteria for quorum sensing -- a process by which bacteria communicate and subsequently control different cellular processes. With the molecule described, it is possible to either inhibit or stimulate communication, making it a useful tool for research into bacterial communication and its influence on different genetic pathways. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190415143925.htm

Plastic's carbon footprint

From campaigns against microplastics to news of the great Pacific garbage patch, public awareness is growing about the outsized effect plastic has on the world's oceans. However, its effect on the air is far less obvious. Plastic production, use, and disposal all emit prodigious amounts of greenhouse gasses, but scientists haven't had a firm grasp on the scope. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190415144004.htm

New evidence suggests volcanoes caused biggest mass extinction ever

Researchers say mercury buried in ancient rock provides the strongest evidence yet that volcanoes caused the biggest mass extinction in the history of the Earth. The extinction 252 million years ago was so dramatic and widespread that scientists call it 'the Great Dying.' The catastrophe killed off more than 95 percent of life on Earth over the course of hundreds of thousands of years. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190415122249.htm
