This may help to explain some of its disinfectant resistance. S. aureus can be very difficult to get rid of in hospitals. That's 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bacteria. This will change scientists thinking on global warming, estimates of where carbon is stored, and the likelihood or mutations in bacteria. This count of bacteria is much larger than the number of stars in the universe.
Today is peptide hormone day.
Many new drugs bases on peptide hormones are finding powerful uses in medicine. New work on Crohn's disease points to the overexpression of insulin-like growth factor in the intestines. This has applications in all sorts of research. The protein was overexpressed in genetically engineered bacteria. A new implant that releases nerve growth factor may help treat Alzheimer's disease .
