#Extremophiles that can digest #radiation ☢️ and toxicities are already used to clean up everything from oil spills to the fallout of radioactive sites.
This means we could #engineer microbes that are resistant to freezing ❄️ temperatures and high levels of radiation.
Given that #microbes 🦠 helped make Earth habitable, we could use synthetic #biology to engineer microbes to speed up a similar process for #Mars 🔴 https://theconversation.com/how-to-engineer-microbes-to-enable-us-to-live-on-mars-253456

Neue Strategie gegen #Malaria: Mithilfe von #CRISPRCas9 haben Forscher:innen eine einzelne Aminosäure in Mücken genetisch so verändert, dass sie keine Malaria-Erreger mehr auf Menschen übertragen können. Wie genau das funktioniert, erklärt #TheScientist. https://www.the-scientist.com/a-single-genetic-tweak-stops-mosquitoes-from-spreading-malaria-73202
