Midway through her sophomore year—shortly after declaring her special concentration—Han left Harvard to further pursue this interest, spending four months of spring 2009 in Bangladesh, where she helped develop a pilot protocol for ridding water of arsenic and bacteria...
Harvard Medical School researchers have discovered that the organelles responsible for carbon fixation within cyanobacteria organize themselves in predictable patterns—a finding that could help researchers engineer more efficient designer bacteria...
...researchers said that scientists hope to use cyanobacteria as a model organism to create genetically-modified designer bacteria capable of producing biofuels. Greater carbon fixation efficiency in cyanobacteria would increase the efficiency of biofuel production in these bacteria, according to the research team...
...researchers said that they plan to focus next on strains of cyanobacteria that use an engineered lipid synthesis pathway that allows the bacteria to directly secrete biofuels into growth medium...
...Instead of giving it a Latin name, they refer to the creature publicly as "the Denisova hominin" and in internal e-mails and discussions simply as "X." But privately, scientists at Max Planck - a world leader in the painstaking process of separating genomes from other DNA (of viruses and bacteria, for instance) that typically contaminate fossils - believe that the sequencing of the Denisova hominin's nuclear genome, which will offer a complete genetic picture, will confirm a new species. Krause says the sequencing has begun, and will be complete within a few months...
