According to University of Connecticut biochemist Peter Setlow, Cano is a long way from convincing critics "beyond a shadow of a doubt that the microbe he has isolated is an ancient one." Setlow agrees, however, that Cano has made the most compelling case possible. For instance, he has clearly established that his bacteria -- while related to Bacillus sphaericus, a living resident of apiarian digestive tracts -- are genetically distinct from known microbes. The catch is, something like 95% of the bacteria that populate today's world have not even been identified, much less analyzed by scientists...
...Jones' client mounted, suspects were tracked down and prosecutors organized their case against McVeigh and his Army buddy Terry Nichols. The latest person drawn into the FBI's dragnet is Steven Garrett Colbern, 35, who was picked up Friday on an unrelated weapons charge in Oatman, Arizona. Colbern, a biochemist, lived in Oatman, about 20 miles from Kingman, where McVeigh once resided. There are a number of coincidences involving Colbern: he owns a brown pickup truck similar to one a witness allegedly saw alongside McVeigh's car in Perry, Oklahoma, the day of the bombing; he used the same Kingman...
...death penalty if he is convicted. Nichols was transferred to the same Oklahoma federal prison that holds the other suspect in the case, Timothy McVeigh, an old Army buddy with whom Nichols apparently shared a strong dislike of the government. Meanwhile, federal agents in Arizona arrested Steven Colbern, a biochemist, on unrelated weapons charges. He was picked up after investigators received a tip that Colbern owns a brown pickup truck similar to one a witness claims to have seen escorting McVeigh prior to his arrest...

Back in the U.S., Aufderheide carried thumbnail-size tissue samples he had taken from the woman to his colleague Salo, the biochemist. Using a new technique of dna analysis called polymerase chain reaction, the Minnesota researchers cloned billions of copies of the ancient genetic material. Then they identified a fragment of dna that is found only in TB bacteria...
