Fig. 1: 13C and 15N incorporation in representative microbial cells. figure1 Cells from incubations of U1365 9H-3 with 13C-bicarbonate and 15N ammonium (a–d) and 13C,15N-Amino acid mix (e–h). (a, e) SYBR Green I-stained cells under fluorescence microscopy. b, c, f, g Ratio images of 13C/12C (b, f) and 12C15N/12C14N ratios (c, g) of the same regions imaged in a, e, demonstrating locations of 13C and 15N incorporation. Color-scale ranges of the ratios are shown as numbers appearing at top and bottom of the color bar. The background membrane region, which is identified by fluorescence images, is excluded from the ratio calculation and shown as black background. d, h. Secondary electron (NanoSIMS) images of the same regions in a, e. Bars represent 5 µm. Similar images were processed for obtaining the dataset (Supplementary Data 1) of substrate incorporations for 6986 individual cells.

Why did we evolve?

[bwest]

Below the bottom?

[TalBlack]

I swear these guys don’t watch movies at all...

[Red Badger]

Yes, from drilling cores into the muck...................

[Red Badger]

Correct, they are too busy watching reruns of The Big Bang Theory.............

[RobyOnekanobee]

The Thing. It did not end well.

[Huskrrrr]

Have a container of bleach handy, just in case.

Now is the chance for evolutionary biologists to show how good they are and predict what features will be seen in the genome sequence based on their evolutionary theories.

Thanks Red Badger. Microbes, yourcrobes, everybodyscrobes.

Were samples sent to the Wuhan Institute of Virology?

[terart]

so since it is 2020 and everything else is decimated, why not add some foreign microbe to the mix... what could go wrong!

[Inyo-Mono]

The dredged stuff up from the sea floor simply because they're not yet technologically capable of plumbing the depths of hell.

That struck me as one of the best replies I've ever seen on FR to an article about scientists reviving ancient bacteria. You've articulated what I've always thought when I read an article like this.

COVID-100MillionB.C. ?

[Salvavida]

Whelp, since we have no absolute accurate method or dating....by what standard are they stating 100 million? Why not 1? Why not 20K?

Radiocarbon dating THEORY only works if the atmospheric pressure has remained constant, and the ratio of Carbon (C) 12 levels to C14 are the same. That is not the case.

“Isn’t this how a sci-fi/horror novel begins?...”

No. Nine movies out of ten there’s a couple making out in some remote area. The woman says, “What’s that?” And the guy says, “It’s nothing.”

The tenth movie starts in some remote area with somebody dying horribly, then it goes to the couple making out.

BTW, from now on, the couple making out will be two of the same sex, or two people of different races. At which point the woman will say, “What’s that?” The partner will say, “Who give a f#ck?”
