in my bio class we read a paper about a bacteria that could eat the green house gases. it was found in some very acidic area i can't recall much about it off the top of my head, but it is very interesting and could possible slow/stop the deterioration of the ozone.

this article is very interesting. i would love to get in a field like this, but it takes a lot to make a name for yourself in this kind of field. you need to have amazing funding and a lot of support to be able to find stuff such as this, or extreme luck.

altough I'm not getting how something with arsenic in their DNA is very beneficial. Hopefully in the near future we can discover the uses for this mutation
