• New Life Beneath Sea And Ice: Scientists have long known that life can exist in some very extreme environments. But Earth continues to surprise us. At a European Science Foundation and COST (European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) 'Frontier s of Science' meeting in Sicily in October, scientists described apparently productive ecosystems in two places where life was not known before, under the Antarctic ice sheet, and above concentrated salt lakes beneath the Mediterranean. In both cases, innumerable tiny microbes are fixing or holding onto quantities of organic carbon large enough to be significant in the global carbon cycle
• Farming and chemical warfare: A day in the life of an ant?: One of the most important developments in human civilisation was the practice of sustainable agriculture. But we were not the first - ants have been doing it for over 50 million years. Just as farming helped humans become a dominant species, it has also helped leaf-cutter ants become dominant herbivores, and one of the most successful social insects in nature. According to an article in the November issue of Microbiology Today, leaf-cutter ants have developed a system to try and keep their gardens pest-free; an impressive feat which has evaded even human agriculturalis ts. Leaf-cutter ants put their freshly-cut leaves in gardens where they grow a special fungus that they eat. New material is continuously incorporated into the gardens to grow the fungus and old material is removed by the ants and placed in special refuse dumps away from the colony. The ants have also adopted the practice of weeding. When a microbial pest is detected by worker ants, there is an immediate flurry of activi
• The Amazing Technologies of Royal Raymond Rife: Born in 1888, he was a brilliant scientist who developed Bioelectric Medicine. His technologies use frequency to disintegrate microbes like herpes, influenza, tetanus, spinal meningitis, cancerous viruses, and much more. Rife's work has been suppressed by the major medical establishment for many years (and still today) because it takes away from their ability to do big business with their pharmaceutical drugs and surgeries. His technologies have been preserved and many people are realizing Rife's amazing body of work that can be used to heal yoursef.
• New Bacteria Discovered In Raw Milk: Raw milk is illegal in many countries as it can be contaminated with potentially harmful microbes. Contamination can also spoil the milk, making it taste bitter and turn thick and sticky. Now scientists have discovered new species of bacteria that can grow at low temperatures, spoiling raw milk even when it is refrigerated.
