A dozen exotic bacteria are found to passively collect rare earth elements from wastewater
Link description
In a recent development, a dozen previously undiscovered and rare bacterial strains have been identified by scientists. These exotic bacteria were found in a passive state in various environmental samples collected from remote regions across the globe. The discovery is a significant achievement in the field of microbiology, as it sheds light on the diverse and intricate nature of microbial life on our planet. The scientists utilized advanced genetic sequencing techniques and cutting-edge bioinformatics tools to identify the bacteria, which belong to various taxonomic groups. The findings reveal that some of these bacterial strains are capable of metabolizing unusual organic compounds, while others possess unique antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
