New Antiviral Mechanism Discovered in Bacteria
Chinese scientists discovered CRISPR-CAAD, a new bacterial antiviral mechanism that converts ATP into toxic ITP, hindering phage reproduction and allowing bacteria to resist infection by entering a temporary dormancy state; this finding, published in Science, may lead to new anti-infective drugs.

Black Sea Oil Spill Cleanup Uses Specialized Bacteria
Scientists from Kuban State University are using oil-degrading bacteria to clean up an M-100 fuel oil spill on the Black Sea coast; the effectiveness depends on the bacteria's preference for certain oil fractions and the time allowed for cleanup; concerns about harming the marine environment are add...
