RE: Tree of Life: Archaea, Bacteria or Eukaryota?
So, do you think there's untapped engineering potential for Archaea in the lab? We use bacteria for a lot of things from silly glow experiments to breeding plastic eaters. I wonder if the different chemistry opens up new possibilities.
Well obviously I'm not somebody who would know but they typically live in extreme conditions surviving things we couldn't even consider, so perhaps medical potential at least?
I didn't know you wouldn't know, y'know. Now I know.
Ya, I was thinking toxic spill cleanups in factories or something. Maybe we can pull some genes from them to make better tomatos. haha. shrugs
Interesting read regardless.
