- Life in extreme environments
- U.S. biologists have developed a model mapping the control circuit governing a bacteria named Halobacterium salinarum, which can live in extremely salty environments, and that can survive to radiation which would be deadly to most other organisms. Their model shows how these bacteria adapt themselves in response to their environment....
