Deinococcus radiodurans : Latest News, Information, Answers and Websites
what is the eseiest way to perform the transformation of Deinococcus radiodurans ?
Answer: D radiodurans has a megaplasmid that is used to transform the bacterium to work as a bioremediator of heavily polluted sites. You might want to extract and replicate the megaplasmid and then input in the plasmid whatever sequence you want the bacterium to express.
There's a few studies on drug resistance transformation as well where plasmids were inserted and genome transformation ensued, read up on Battista's research and Smith et al's papers.

What is Deinococcus radiodurans ecological niche?
what is the ecological niche for Deinococcus radiodurans and what other organisms share its niche. Also what special behaviors does it have to allow it to compete in this niche
Answer: I dont know about its niche, but you could extrapolate from the following:
Deinococcus has the remarkable ability to repair its genome from fragments. Scientists have completely fractured the genome, and in most organisms, this would kill the cell. However deinococcus can put its genome back together in the right order. weird isn't it. It can also grow at radiation high enough to melt glass. Its a crazy little bugger isn't it.

The World's Toughest Bacterium
Jul 5, 2002 ... Deinococcus radiodurans is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as "the world's toughest bacterium." And for good reason: The ...
Has deinococcus radiodurans have been killed before?
Answer: Yes, it has been killed. However, Deinococcus radiodurans ("strange berry that withstands radiation", formerly called Micrococcus radiodurans) is an extremophilic bacterium, and is the most radioresistant organism known. While a dose of 10 Gy is sufficient to kill a human, and a dose of 60 Gy is sufficient to kill all cells in a culture of E. coli, D. radiodurans is capable of withstanding an instantaneous dose of up to 5,000 Gy with no loss of viability, and an instantaneous dose of up to 15,000 Gy with 37% viability. It can survive heat, cold, dehydration, vacuum, and acid, and because of its resistance to more than one extreme condition, D. radiodurans is known as a polyextremophile. It has also been listed as the world's toughest bacterium in "The Guiness Book Of World Records" because of its extraordinary resistance to several extreme conditions. Interestingly enough, it may actually "die" and resurrect itself.

Can anybody explain me how could scientists translate a music into DNA sequence?
I read they they did it with a Disney song. They "wrote" it on Deinococcus radiodurans DNA and they retrieved it some generations later.
How could they do it?
I read they they did it with a Disney song. They "wrote" it on Deinococcus radiodurans DNA and they retrieved it some generations later.
How could they do it?
Wouldnt the insertion of new gen (or part of) change completely the cells work?
Answer: DNA has nucleotides C, A, T, G.
Music has notes C, A, D, G.
Get the picture?
Edit: What TJ says is true.
Therefore, imagine instead that you're going to use codons to represent notes or letters, in a hypothetical amino acid sequence that would be a gene product from your DNA.
Amino acids colloquially have a letter of the alphabet assigned to each, 20 in all. It makes for some strange spelling, if you're doing lyrics, but it's doable.
Or you could assign a note to each amino acid. I admit, 20 isn't a lot -- but you can do Moon River, lol.
When you're placing your sequence into your bacterium, don't place it into an operon, and precede it with enough leader (maybe a bunch of C repeats) so that you don't accidentally make a prokaryote promoter sequence. This way it won't get transcribed to mRNA, and you're not interfering with the normal functioning of your bacterium.

can Deinococcus radiodurans effect animals?
im doing a little tournament at my school an in class one at that an i was wondering if this bacteria could effect animals
Answer: D. radiodurans does not form endospores and is nonmotile. It is an obligate aerobic chemoorganoheterotroph, i.e. it uses oxygen to derive energy from organic compounds in its environment. It is often found in habitats rich in organic materials, such as soil, feces, meat, or sewage, but has also been isolated from dried foods, room dust, medical instruments and textiles.

As of now it does not cause any health concerns.

What are some things that can kill Deinococcus radiodurans?
Im doing a project for microbiology but cant seem to find out what it is that can definitely kill this microorganism. Can anyone help me??!!
Answer: Autoclaving, boiling, incubations at 55oC for 24 hours, ionizing radiation doses above 20,000 Gy, & starving the cells of manganese. Knocking out DNA repair genes like recA renders D. radiodurans as sensitive to radiation, desiccation, and UV as E. coli. See http://www.usuhs.mil/pat/deinococcus/index_20.htm

What if Deinococcus radiodurans mutated?
What if the bacteria Deinococcus radiodurans was to mutate to a point where it was extremely virulent and lethal to humans? I know that this is the most "hardy" bacteria in the world, and that nothing, not heat, ice, acid, or radiation can kill it. If this were to happen, what methods would be able to use to kill it?
Answer: The archaean cell wall has distinct features. Just as we have penicillin to attach the cell wall of eubacteria, we could search for a compound that inhibits archaean cell wall synthesis without being lethal to humans. Ribosomes might also be a target. It should be noted that no archaean has been shown to be a pathogen.

is it good to use deinococcus radiodurans as shielding armor against radiation?
Answer: Quite possible.
Using genetic engineering Deinococcus has been used for bioremediation to consume and digest solvents and heavy metals, even in a highly radioactive site. The bacterial mercuric reductase gene has been cloned from Escherichia coli into Deinococcus to detoxify the ionic mercury frequently found in radioactive waste generated from nuclear weapons manufacture. Those researchers developed a strain of Deinococcus that could detoxify both mercury and toluene in mixed radioactive wastes.
So you see, it's definitely not in the realm of impossibility. There are several biochemical firms that are already researching this application.

Im looking for odd Scientific facts from the Quantum world, the microscopic world, the human perspective...?
My full question reads thusly:
Im looking for odd Scientific facts from the Quantum world, the microscopic world, the human perspective, the macroscopic view, and the universal view. Just one fact from each, the more bizarre the better.
E.G.:
QUANTUM: An electron can be, in a literal sense, in two places at the same time.
MICROSCOPIC: The bacteria Deinococcus radiodurans can survive inside the core of a nuclear power plant - and even munch on the Uranium 233 there for nourishment.
HUMAN: About 100 people is the USA have a Congenital insensitivity to pain. They can feel heat and cold, they can be tickled, but the sensation of pain is completely alien to them.
MACROSCOPIC: Lightning can strike other clouds, rather than just moving downwards to strike the Earth. E,g: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cloud_to_cloud_lightning_strike.jpg)
UNIVERSE: The matter in the universe is so thinly dispersed that the universe can be compared with a building twenty miles long, twenty miles wide, and twenty miles high, containing only a single grain of sand.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now your turn! If you cant think of any for a particular category, come back to it later or simply omit that category from your answer.
Answer: Although the chances are EXTREMELY SMALL, it is possible to walk through a wall. You'd have to walk into a wall for as long as the current life of the universe, then you'd pop through on the other side!!! This is called quantum tunneling. It occurs plenty in the quantum realm.
Light is both particles and waves at the same time!
From implications of wave-particle duality from light, matter itself is waves. YOU are made of waves! They just have such a small wavelength that it is unobservable.
Parallel universes, due to the implications of something called the double-slit experiment, may exist!
There is something called quantum entanglement, in which two particles become linked (don't ask me how, I didn't entirely understand it) and even if one is on the other side of the universe, you can do something to it, and it will happen to the other particle!
Something called the uncertainty principle states that the more accurate the position of something is, the less accurate its speed is. This may not seem extraordinary, but it is, consider this example. If you take a liquid, and cool it down so low that it is only a couple degrees above absolute zero, the speed of all the particles slow down tremendously becoming uniform, thus the speed is more accurate. This makes the positions of the particles less accurate, and so, the liquid becomes one giant particle!! It acts rather strange. Say you take a cup and dip it into this "superfluid", and take it back out, even if you have the cup straight up, so it doesn't fall out, the liquid will "fall out" anyways. There's vids of it on youtube, check it out.
That's all quantum stuff ^.
Now for other oddities.
It is impossible to catch up to the speed of light, if a beam of light travels by you at 3.0x10^8 m/s, then you start to run at that speed, it will still appear to be 3.0x10^8 m/s!!
If you have two twins, the same age, and one goes off on a spaceship travelling around near the speed of light, then comes back, only 1 year will have passed for the travelling twin, but a good 20 years will have passed for the twin who stayed at home. What this means is, if you travel close to the speed of light, you can, basically, time travel into the future! (not your future, but others, you skip years)
There's a ton more and i could go on and on, but I'm not going to. Stuff like this is what makes me interested in physics =P.

What does it means to say that a certain bacteria lives in a tetrad?
Example: Deinococcus radiodurans
Answer: it means the bacteria divides and lives in a groups of four. Tetra- is a numerical prefix derived from Ancient Greek that means "four". Therefore a tetrad is a grouping of four things.
In the world of bacteria, it refers to how they divide and live together.
Cocci bacteria are a good example of this type of division. When coccus bacterium divides in two planes, ie sideways and downwards, it creates a grouping of four bacteria.
If a bacterium divides on one plane, ie. sideways, you get a chain of single cocci or pairs of cocci - diplococcus and streptococcus.
Look at the picture of the Deinococcus radiodurans at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinococcus_radiodurans
Notice how the bacteria lives in four's.

how does deinococcus radiodurans become an important vector for panspernia?
origin of life
Answer: Deinocococcus radiodurans can withstand huge amounts of radiation and still survive. So it's possible that during the time that the Earth's atmosphere was much thinner (long, long ago), and organisms were exposed to much more radiation from the sun, Deinococcus radiodurans may have been able to cope with this. Other organisms would not have been able to survive at this time though, so it's possible that D. radiodurans was one of the first organisms.

Possible to genetically engineer plants using genetic material from Deinococcus radiodurans?
Would it be possible to isolate and use the beneficial genes from this organism to engineer plants (food) that take on the beneficial traits of being heat/vaccuum/radioactive/cold resistance for possible use to grow in otherwise unhospitable environments? Thanks.
Answer: Yes. This is what people has been doing all the time. In fact, using this concept, people have been growing crops that tastes good by extracting out the gene for it and then genetically inserted them in.
