Many news sources around the globe have written about the Mono Lake bacteria discovery by NASA and lead researcher Felisa Wolfe-Simon (read more on the discovery here on the Mono-logue).
The ability of the remarkable GFAJ-1 bacterium to use arsenic instead of phosphorus in its DNA is unmatched by any other known organism and changes the fundamental knowledge about what comprises all known life on Earth.
But why not hear about it directly from her? Here’s an interesting interview with Dr. Wolfe-Simon from National Public Radio. You can listen here directly: NPR Science Friday: Life, But Not As We Know It. Or visit the Science Friday website.
