The entire pile was a green berm of life.

He used a remote village, released some kind of pathogen.

So, they have a second enzyme that makes a second signal and it has its own receptor, and this molecule is the trade language of bacteria.

like of the Agarikon mushroom.

One of the interesting things about these particular guys is that they're in the actinomycete and streptomycete groups of the bacteria, which is where we get most of our antibiotics.

I'll go down to the lab and bring you up some photos of my fungus experiments.

There was no sign of any life. It was dead.

We can download new diagnostics.

Say a new super bug has emerged.

So we went back to molecular biology and started studying different bacteria, and what we've found now is that in fact, bacteria are multilingual.

Oxalic acid is two carbon dioxide molecules joined together.

This, uh,

fungal.

That's because if there are any harmful bacteria on the outside,

An example of an organism or two that happens to be quite immortal would be plant seeds or bacterial spores.

We've extended this to the air now with a grant from the Sloan Foundation.

Number three isn't this stuff cool? (Laughter)

A new global epidemic.

Bugs.

Clostridium botulinum.

We've taken that universal molecule and turned it around a little bit so that we've made antagonists of the interspecies communication system.

What you're looking at on this slide is just a person from my lab holding a flask of a liquid culture of a bacterium, a harmless beautiful bacterium that comes from the ocean, named Vibrio fischeri.

I found out quickly

Anthrax.

Five pips.

It's truly stunning that these organisms can do that, and we probably have thousands, if not tens of thousands, of different species on this planet that are capable of doing that.

You say bacteria, those are germs.

Now this has been a huge problem for many years, basically since the late 1980s, when the varroa mite came and brought many different viruses, bacteria and fungal diseases with it.

What the important thing is that we learned is that every bacterium has exactly the same enzyme and makes exactly the same molecule.

I think we've all heard of the word, bacteria.

Եվ պրոկարիոտի օրինակներն են, երկու մեծ խմբի են բաժանվում

Embedding nanoparticles in a material for instance, always.

And one thing that is common to all of life is DNA.

That's the anthrax alarm.

So in addition to doing the transplant, we had to find out how to get a bacterial chromosome out of the eukaryotic yeast into a form where we could transplant it into a recipient cell.

We think bacteria made the rules for how multicellular organization works.

By targeting the red system, what we are able to do is to make species specific, or disease specific, anti quorum sensing molecules.

It's used by all different bacteria and it's the language of interspecies communication.

And we normally associate it with negative things.

And, I mean, the world apparently is running out too.

So, I hope to pierce that prejudice forever with this group.

It's coming from Decon.

I'll see you in Decon.

Of course... keeping the world safe from human debris.

I want to present to you a suite of six mycological solutions, using fungi, and these solutions are based on mycelium.
