Biological engineers have developed a unique form of photography using light-sensitive bacteria to produce images. By modifying 18 genes, they engineered E. coli bacteria to respond to red, green, and blue light. The process involves placing the bacteria on an agar plate in a specific pattern and exposing it to light. Genetically modified microbes then produce enzymes that react with the agar, creating a permanent image on the plate. Although the image formation takes a few hours, the bacteria can produce high-definition images of intricate subjects. #TCGIBP #FridayFunFacts #Biotech #BiotechFacts #BacteriaPhotograph

Research from the University of Toronto's Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering shows that a strain of bacteria could be genetically engineered to accelerate the extraction of nickel from pyrrhotite tailings. The path to discovery began in 2010, when a student collected a sample from a pyrrhotite tailings site in Vale's Clarabelle Mill, near Sudbury, Ontario. The sample was analyzed back in the lab and the research team identified a new strain of a species of bacteria called Acidithio­bacillus ferridurans, which thrives in extremely acidic and heavy metal-rich environments. The researchers named this strain Acidithiobacillus ferridurans JAGS (the acronym is named after the initials of two students who helped with the project, Andrew Jo and Srinath Garg).
