Could the mysteries of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and the ancient Ark of the Covenant reveal untapped links between radiation and rapid evolutionary processes? As modern science ventures deeper into the secrets of natural selection and genetic adaptation, might we uncover a blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge technology that reshapes our understanding of life itself?

In the 1950s, scientists exposed a tin of meat to a dose of radiation that they expected would kill all forms of life. But one organism defied the odds and lived: Conan The Bacterium. Turns out this microorganism, known to science as Deinococcus radiodurans, is capable of surviving extreme levels of radiation — thousands of times the amount that would kill a human. So what's Conan's secret?Want more stories about the microbial world?

Christian Bök is an award-winning poet pushing the boundaries of the medium and exploring the capabilities of language itself. Rather than focusing on self-expression, Christian uses poetry as a laboratory for understanding language — probing its plasticity and character.His notable work, the bestseller Eunoia, draws inspiration from the avant-garde rules of Oulipo and takes it a step further by restricting each chapter to only one vowel. This constraint leads to the creation of such singular phrases as "Writing is inhibiting. Sighing, I sit, scribbling in ink this pidgin script."For the past two decades, Christian has pursued an even more ambitious project, The Xenotext. This project involves enciphering an "alien text" within the DNA of a resilient bacterium, Deinococcus radiodurans. One goal of The Xenotext is to create a text that could outlast human civilization. To add to the genomic challenge Christian has set a remarkable rule: the symbols of the text should be interpretable in two different ways, resulting in two poems that are encoded within the same string.Christian combines scientific techniques, trial and error, and computer programming to construct his poems, adhering to the rules he has established within his own poetic universe. Furthermore, he transforms art back into science by employing gene-editing to inscribe his poetic creation into the "book of life," the DNA of a living organism.Instead of looking back and inwards (the ideal of “emotion recollected in tranquility”, Christian looks outwards and to the future, fusing science and art to produce uncanny, unforgettable verse.References: Christian's website: umlautmachine.net His Twitter: @christianbok More detailed notes from this episode at: multiverses.xyz

Certains organismes vivants ont réussi à développer une résistance exceptionnelle. C'est le cas d'un micro-organisme, la bactérie "Conan", dont le fonctionnement particulier intrigue les scientifiques.Une bactérie découverte en 1956Cette bactérie doit son surnom au personnage de Conan le Barbare, né sous la plume de l'auteur d'heroic fantasy Robert E. Edward. C'est un homme fort et musclé, qui vient toujours à bout de ses ennemis.Mais la bactérie qui lui emprunte son nom est capable de prodiges bien plus étonnants. Elle a été découverte, en 1956, par un scientifique soucieux de stériliser des boîtes de conserve en les exposant à de fortes doses de rayons gamma.Mais voilà qu'à sa grande stupéfaction, des bactéries avaient survécu à ce traitement. C'était notre bactérie "Conan", de son vrai nom "Deinococcus radiodurans", une appellation assurément plus scientifique.Un micro-organisme particulièrement résistantLes scientifiques s'aperçoivent rapidement que cette bactérie résiste à bien autre chose qu'aux rayons gamma. En effet, il s'agit d'une bactérie "polyextrêmophile". Autrement dit, un micro-organisme capable de résister à un ensemble de conditions extrêmes.Et de fait, la bactérie "Conan" semble survivre à tout. On a beau l'exposer à de l'acide, à des températures extrêmes, au vide sidéral ou aux UV, elle ne meurt pas. Et c'est aussi le cas si on la prive de toute source de nourriture.Elle s'accommode aussi très bien de la vie dans l'espace. En effet, des cosmonautes de l'ISS ont déposé ces bactéries sur les panneaux solaires de la station internationale. Même ce milieu très particulier n'a pas semblé les affecter.Non seulement cette bactérie montre une exceptionnelle résistance, mais si, malgré tout, elle subit des dommages, elle est en mesure de reconstituer son ADN. D'une certaine manière, elle est capable de "ressusciter" !Les scientifiques se sont penchés sur cet étonnant processus.

The capsule, named Resilience, and its SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket rolled out to Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida late Monday into early Tuesday (Nov. 9-10), NASA officials said. The Falcon 9 is scheduled to launch Saturday evening (Nov. 14), sending four astronauts — NASA's Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins and Shannon Walker and Japan's Soichi Noguchi — to the orbiting lab on Crew-1, SpaceX's first operational astronaut mission for NASA. NASA's Commercial Crew Program awarded SpaceX a $2.6 billion contract in 2014 to fly at least six operational crewed missions to the space station. The six-month-long Crew-1 is the first of those contracted flights, but it won't be SpaceX's first-ever astronaut mission. That distinction goes to Demo-2, a test flight that sent NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the station for two months this past summer. SpaceX Kicks-Off Assembly on First Super Heavy Starship Booster in South Texas SpaceX's Super Heavy might be effectively complete in one month, and we couldn't be more excited. Link: https://interestingengineering.com/spacex-kicks-off-assembly-on-first-super-heavy-starship-booster-in-south-texas SpaceX kicks-off Starship Super Heavy assembly in South Texas Technically, SpaceX could build much smaller booster prototypes for the initial test flights into orbit — this might be done via modifying the tank design of Starship — but rocketry isn't an exceedingly modular enterprise, Teslarati reports. However, whether the move comes via confidence or contingency, SpaceX is jumping directly into Starship prototype development, toward a full-scale Super Heavy booster production and testing platform. Super Heavy could be one of SpaceX's easiest projects Indeed, in an inversion of the typical relationship, the next-gen rocket's booster will probably be much simpler than the upper stage — which would be the largest spacecraft with reusable parts and upper stage in the world. Lacking a need for a tiled heat shield, aerodynamic control surfaces (discounting Falcon-style grid fins), a conical nose, and possibly even internal header tanks, the only serious challenge Super Heavy faces for the first time is developing an engine section capable of feeding and supporting up to 28 Raptor engines. Jim Bridenstine will step aside as NASA chief when President-elect Biden takes over: report Link: https://www.space.com/nasa-chief-bridenstine-step-aside-president-biden NASA will apparently be getting a new leader after president-elect Joe Biden is sworn in. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine won't remain in the agency's lead role in the Biden administration even if asked, Aerospace Daily & Defense Report reported on Sunday (Nov. 8). "You need somebody who has a close relationship with the president of the U.S. ... somebody trusted by the administration …. including OMB [Office of Management and Budget], National Space Council, National Security Council," Bridenstine told Irene Klotz, space editor for Aviation Week, Aerospace Daily & Defense Report's parent publication. "I think I would not be the right person for that in a new administration." "There is a political agreement that America needs to do big things in space exploration, that we need to lead the world ... There have been lessons learned from the past, and I think Congress is in a good position to make sure that we have sustainable programs going forward," he said in one of the tweeted snippets. And in another one, he stressed that "there are a lot of people that can do great work as the NASA administrator." This Bacterium Survived on The Outside of The Space Station For a Whole Damn Year Link: https://www.sciencealert.com/this-bacterium-survived-on-the-outside-of-the-space-station-for-a-year A year in space is no walk in the park. Just ask Scott Kelly, the American astronaut who spent a year on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2015. His long-term stay in space changed his DNA, telomeres, and gut microbiome, he lost bone density, and he still had sore feet three months later. So, it's quite a feat that a species of bacterium first found in a can of meat, Deinococcus radiodurans, was still alive and kicking after a year spent living on a specially designed platform outside the pressurised module of the ISS. Researchers have been investigating these mighty microbes for a while; back in 2015, an international team set up the Tanpopo mission on the outside of the Japanese Experimental Module Kibo, to put hardy bacterial species to the test. Now, D. radiodurans has passed with flying colours. This isn't the longest time D. radiodurans has been kept in these conditions – back in August we wrote about a sample of the bacterium being left up there for three whole years. But the team weren't trying for a world record, instead they were trying to uncover what makes D. radiodurans just so good at surviving in these extreme conditions. So, after a year of radiation, freezing and boiling temperatures, and no gravity, the researchers got the spacefaring bacteria back down to Earth, rehydrated both a control that had spent the year on Earth and the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) sample, and compared their results. The survival rate was a lot lower for the LEO bacteria compared to the control version, but the bacteria that did survive seemed to be doing okay, even if they had turned a little different to their Earth-bound brethren.

Už to je trochu aj opakujúca sa správa. Pretože ak by bolo čosi zvláštne, tak by to bolo asi zistenie, že sa hviezda Betelgeuze začala správať normálne. Toto slnko na konci svojho života však zase robí čosi, čo by robiť nemalo. A mätie pri tom astronómov. Tento týždeň sa v podcaste Zoom znovu vyberieme za hviezdou Betelgeuze, zistíme, že v našom magnetickom poli Zeme sa vyskytuje čudná anomália a že vedci mimochodom vyriešili matematický problém, ktorý ich trápil desaťročia. Krátke správy v z vedy Vedci odhalili molekulárny mechanizmus, ktorý umožňuje rastlinám dýchať. Medzi zvieratami a rastlinami je totiž rozdiel, ako získavajú energiu a rastú. Výskumníci teraz prvý raz ukázali trojrozmernú proteínovú štruktúru, ktorá je kľúčová pri transportnom reťazci v rastlinných mitochondriách. Naše pravidlá na rozstupy a sociálne dištancovanie sa sú v prípade nového koronavírusu nedostatočné a vychádzajú zo starých modelov. Nový výskum naznačuje, že dvojmetrové rozstupy skrátka nestačia. Aktuálne pochopenie šírenia vírusu hovorí, že drobné kvapôčky sa môžu šíriť na vzdialenosť až osem metrov. Baktérie by mohli prežiť cestu medzi Marsom a Zemou. Pri tejto ceste kozmom by pritom museli zvládnuť extrémny chlad či vesmírnu radiáciu. Nový výskum teraz ukázal, že istý druh rezistentných mikróbov rodu Deinococcus dokáže vytvárať akési agregáty a vďaka nim vo vesmíre prežiť roky. Umelé inteligencie by raz mohli predpovedať zemetrasenia a výbuchy sopiek. Seizmické dáta z minulosti totiž naznačovali prichádzajúcu udalosť, no tieto signály si ľudia neboli schopní všimnúť. Nový výskum ukazuje, ako by to mohli zvládnuť algoritmy na základe strojového učenia sa.

A cím kissé hatásvadász, de hát mit csináljunk, ha Kary Mullis maga állította, hogy összefutott egy világító, zöld mosómedvével? És becsszó nem LSD-zett akkor épp. 00'00" - In medias res teszteltem Hapci fájdalomtűrését. (Szerintem alacsony. Szerinte magas, merthogy tele van tetoválással. Erről pedig korábban már beszéltünk az atavisztikus bélyegek kapcsán a Bennünk lévő állat felfedezése című adásunkban. Többet nem spoilerezünk.) 00'54" - Hapci csúnyán beelőzött egy űberbrutál fájdalmas szóviccel. Kénytelen leszek összeszedni magam. 02'40" - Mi a tűrőképesség ökológiai értelemben? (A tolarenc...tolear... tolerancia jó nyelvtörőnek bizonyult többször is.) 03'40" - A túl rossz és a túl jó között azért ott az optimum. Még akkor is, ha a "túl jó" az nyilván nem túl jó. Szóval értitek. 03'58" - A matek persze itt is befigyel. Na melyik az x tengely? Baki, amit nem vágtunk ki. 04'12" - Milyen a tűrőképességed, te élőlény? Szűk vagy tág? 05'28" - Ebben jó és ebben rossz barátunk, a szúnyog. 06'17" - Hapci kedvenc sorija a Planet Earth. Miket meg nem tudunk? A -60 fokban toporgó pingvinektől például oda meg vissza volt. 07'38" - Mit nekünk az optimum? Ide nekünk az extremofileket! 08'04" - Játszunk ismét, viszont ezúttal nincs Smarties (sajnos március 15-én vettük fel az adást és zárva voltak a boltok). 08'14" - Tűrő vagy kedvelő? Mi dilemmáztunk egy sort, de valaki tegyen már rendet a fejünkben! Köszönjük. 11'39" - A cuki kis medveállatka és az ő bámulatos tűrőképessége. 13'18" - Nem tudtam, mi a kirofil. Upsz. De Hapci helyretett. Huh! 13'42" - Ismerkedjünk meg a Deinococcus radiodurans-szal, a szuperbacival, amit még az ionizáló sugárzás sem rendíthet meg. (Legalábbis az nem rendíti meg.) 14'42" - Az extrémzabáló lisztkukacok, gombák és bacik. 17'09" - Bacik, amik bírják a sok gét. Meg egy kis visszarévedés a laboridőkbe: képzeljük magunkat egy szuszpenzióba úszó baktérium helyébe! Na milyen? 18'35" - A pánspermia lényege. Asztrobiológiától a kis hercegen át a Matt Damon zuzmójáig. 20'41" - Fertőtlenítik az űrállomásra kerülő eszközöket? Na és? Kiderül, mi minden tapad a Nemzetközi Űrállomáshoz! 23'00" - Miért jó, hogy vizsgáljuk az extremofileket? 24'11" - Nézzük a molekuláris biológia legnagyobb aha-élményének a példáját! Egy kis polimeráz-láncreakció (PCR) történelem. 27'10" - Anekdoták egy fickóról, aki feltalálta a PCR-t, kapott egy Nobel-díjat, nem veti meg az LSD-t, és volt élménye világító, zöld mosómedvékkel. 30'00" - Törekedjünk a homeosztázisra, gyerekek! És ne szórjunk ki pénzt lúgosító cuccokra. Még akkor se, ha nem tudjátok fejből, mennyi a vér pH-ja. (Inkább kérdezzétek meg Hapcit, mert ő nagyon tudja.) 31'39" - A stresszkutatás és a magyar vonatkozások (magyar vonatkozás mindig kell!) - pl. Selye János, aki az elhangzottakkal ellentétben nem biokémikus volt. 33'41" - Kifelé a komfortzónából! És vegyetek részt a játékban: mi legyen az a kulcsszó, amit feldolgozzunk a következő adásban.

Titulares: Leche poderosa; propano y accesorios microbianos; resurrección de microbios; y brote de polio en el Condado de Winnebago. Leche poderosa La leche es el primer alimento que la mayoría de nosotros consumimos, y por buenas razones ─ está repleta de nutrientes y estimulantes del sistema inmune que nos ayuda a sobrevivir y a fortalecernos en nuestros primeros meses de vida. Tanto en la leche humana como en la de la vaca existe una proteína llamada lactoferrina que rechaza el ataque de los patógenos. Se ha demostrado que dicha proteína juega un importante papel en nuestro sistema de defensas.Denis Petitclerc, un investigador del Crea Biopharma en Québec, Cánada, afirma que está demostrado que la lactoferrina tiene un papel sinérgico con la penicilina, aumentando su efecto.Petitclerc ha ensayado el efecto de la penicilina con y sin lactoferrina sobre una cepa de Staphylococcus aureus que había dejado de ser sensible a este antibiótico. En ausencia de lactoferrina, la penicilina fue ineficaz pero junto a ella mató a los microbios infecciosos.Petitclerc dice que la lactoferrina evita que Staph aureus sintetice moléculas defensivas que volverían inactiva la penicilina, deteniendo así el mecanismo defensivo de la bacteria. De esta manera los antibióticos pueden hacer su trabajo más eficazmente. Ha probado su sistema en placas Petri, y ahora quiere comprobar si la lactoferrina realiza el mismo efecto en humanos. Propano y accesorios microbianos El etano y el propano no son raros en los sedimentos enterrados a gran profundidad por debajo de los suelos oceánicos. Se cree que estos gases, con frecuencia llamados hidrocarburos termogénicos, son producidos por la materia orgánica que se encuentra rodeada de rocas calientes.Por ello, cuando John Hayes, un responsable de investigación de la Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution en Massachussets, encontró tales gases in rocas sedimentarias frías se llevó una gran sorpresa.Después de examinar los sedimentos del océano Pacífico central, no halló fuentes potenciales de hidrocarburos termogénicos y dedujo que no eran las rocas sino los microbios los que transformaban la materia orgánica en etano y propano.De forma normal los microbios de las profundidades marinas descomponen la materia orgánica en ácido acético, hidrógeno y metano, pero Hayes piensa que estas bacterias reutilizan los productos colaterales del metabolismo para producir los gases ricos en energía antes mencionados.Hayes cree que por supuesto los bichos están haciendo todo lo que pueden para extraer hasta la última pizca de energía.Si Hayes lleva razón futuros estudios desentrañaran novedosas rutas metabólicas en las bacterias que darán lugar a propano a partir de materia orgánica.Resurrección de microbios Un microbio frito por rayos gamma letales o deshidratado en el desierto puede retornar a la vida cuando está a punto de morir. Hace cincuenta años los investigadores descubrieron que Deinococcus radiodurans sobrevivía de alguna manera a la radiación que se utilizaba para esterilizar la carne, a pesar de que los rayos fragmentaran su DNA. Ahora los científicos están desentrañando los secretos de la resurrección del microbio.Miroslav Radman es un biólogo celular del INSERM, el Instituto Publico para la Investigación Biomédica de Francia.Radman opina que la singularidad de este organismo es que, a diferencia de otras células, puede reconstituir su genoma a partir de los varios cientos de fragmentos producidos por tal radiación.El secreto del microbio es que, incluso en los más severos ambientes, siempre tiene al menos dos copias de su genoma a mano. Mientras que las copias no se fragmenten en los mismos lugares, la bacteria puede superponer los segmentos idénticos hasta juntar de nuevo una copia completa de su genoma.Según Radman, Deinococcus radiodurans hace físicamente igual que los programas de los ordenadores cuando secuencian un genoma.Una vez que el genoma ha sido restaurado, los enzimas y otros componentes de la célula hacen lo mismo, y de esta manera resucitan al microbio.En el futuro esta capacidad reconstituyente podría ayudar a los científicos a reparar las células que no se regeneran cuando mueren en los humanos, tales como las neuronas y las del musculo coronario. Brote de polio en el Condado de WinnebagoEn los años cuarenta y cincuenta del siglo pasado, la epidemia de poliomielitis en América hizo pagar un tremendo peaje, física, emocional y económicamente hablando. Recientemente profesores y estudiantes de la Universidad de Wisconsin Oshkosh, en un estudio llamado el Oshkosh Polio Project, han tratado de hacer un recuento de los costes para su comunidad Estudiantes de cinco disciplinas ─Biología, Psicología, Historia, Enfermería y los Departamentos de TV-Film─ rastrearon los datos de los archivos de la audiencia y de los periódicos.Para crear una historia oral y hacer un documental, preguntaron a los supervivientes y a sus cuidadores, y a los familiares de la gente que murió. El profesor Teri Shors dice que Wisconsin fue un semillero de Polio en mil novecientos cincuenta y cinco, especialmente en el cercano condado de Outagame, donde hubo más casos por cada 100.000 habitantes que en casi ningún otro lugar de los Estados Unidos.Shors afirma que era más común que la polio afligiera a la gente de las áreas rurales que a la de las grandes ciudades. Hubo un gran terror a que los niños contrajeran la polio y quedaran inhabilitados y de hecho la polio fue la primera causa de incapacidad en aquella época.Por fortuna, mil novecientos cincuenta y cinco fue el año en el que la vacuna de Salk vio la luz y pronto la polio fue erradicada en los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo el proyecto de Oshkosh demuestra que sus efectos todavía vibran en la memoria de los que estuvieron allí.
Is nuclear chemistry an oxymoron? On this program, Dr. Cynthia Gong described this little-known but important field of science and discussed Deinococcus radioduran, one of the most radiation resistant lifeforms known.
