Scientists have developed a way to grow iron-oxidizing bacteria using electricity instead of iron, an advance that will allow them to better study the organisms and could one day be used to turn electricity into fuel. The study will be published on January 29 in mBio, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
The method, called electrochemical cultivation, supplies these bacteria with a steady supply of electrons that the bacteria use to respire, or "breathe". It opens the possibility that one day electricity generated from renewable sources like wind or solar could be funneled to iron oxidizing bacteria that combine it with carbon dioxide to create biofuels, capturing the energy as a useful, storable substance.
"It's a new way to cultivate a microorganism that's been very difficult to study. But the fact that these organisms can synthesize everything they need using only electricity makes us very interested in their abilities," says Daniel Bond of the BioTechnology Institute at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, who co-authored the paper with Zarath Summers and Jeffrey Gralnick.
To "breathe", iron oxidizers take electrons off of dissolved iron, called Fe(II) a process that produces copious amounts of rust, called Fe(III). Iron-oxidizing bacteria are found around the world, almost anywhere an aerobic environment (with plenty of oxygen) meets an anaerobic environment (which lacks oxygen). They play a big role in the global cycling of iron and contribute to the corrosion of steel pipelines, bridges, piers, and ships, but their lifestyle at the interface of two very different habitats and the accumulation of cell-trapping Fe(III) makes iron oxidizers difficult to grow and study in the lab.
Scientists think these bacteria must carry out the iron oxidation step on their surfaces. If that's true, Bond reasoned, the outsides of the organisms should be covered with proteins that interact with Fe(II), so you should be able to provide a stream of pure electrons to the outsides of the bacteria and get them to grow.
Bond and his colleagues added the marine iron oxidizer Mariprofundus ferrooxydans PV-1, along with some nutrient medium, to an electrode carefully tuned to provide electrons at the same energy level, or potential, as Fe(II) would provide. The idea, says Bond, was to "fool the bacteria into thinking they're at the world's best buffet of Fe(II) atoms."
It worked. The bacteria multiplied and formed a film on the electrode, Bond says, and eventually they were able to grow M. ferrooxydans with no iron in the medium, proof that the bacteria were living off the electrons they absorbed from the electrode to capture carbon dioxide and replicate. And since the electron donor is a solid surface, say the authors, it's pretty likely that the bacterial electron-harvesting machinery is exposed on the outer membrane of the cell.
It's this capture of carbon dioxide that could enable electrochemical cultivation to create biofuels or other useful products one day, Bond says.

The fruit fly Drosophila has long been one of the workhorses of genetics and developmental biology. But for many genomic studies, fruit flies have had one big disadvantage: their small size.
As sequencing has become more sophisticated, experiments that were not possible in the fly just a few years ago, such as analyzing gene expression changes in a few cells, are now quite possible, says Don Fox, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology.
Fox is taking advantage of that new potential to investigate two separate but partially overlapping areas of study. First of all, he wants to know which genes spring into action when tissues get injured and how that changes as flies advance into old age. Second, his lab is preoccupied with cells in the fly gut that are particularly prone to duplicating their genomes, forming genomically unstable polyploid cells similar to those that turn up in many human cancers. Fox wants to know exactly what it is that makes those cells unstable.
He is using sequencing approaches both to characterizethosepolyploidgenomesandto explore gene expression changes over time, with data generated in the IGSPs Genome Sequencing & Analysis Core Resource. Fortunately for Fox who arrived at Duke a year ago well-versed in genetics and cell biology and just beginning to tackle questions on a genomic scale his new lab is positioned right across the hallway from his colleague and long-time IGSP member Dave MacAlpine.
MacAlpine and his team are experts in genome biology,havingplayed animportantrolein modENCODE, an effort to classify all of the regulatory elements in the fly genome. The MacAlpine and Fox labs meet weekly in what is a mutually beneficial collaborative arrangement; Fox gains support in genomics and bioinformatics while MacAlpine gainssupportinmovingfromapproachesin Drosophila cell lines to those in whole fruit flies.
Its allowed my lab to be kind of fearless, Fox says. We can take on these bioinformatics-heavy experiments, which can easily be overwhelming. When I was contemplating where to start a lab, that opportunity for collaboration at Duke was a huge selling point.

Sophisticated Genome Biology in the Tiny Fruit Fly
In a bookshelf-lined room of Tribble Hall, Mariska Leunissen from UNC-Chapel Hill began her discussion on the relationship between Aristotles ethics and biology,in front of an audience of students and faculty alike.
Oliver Beck/Old Gold & Black
She began by warning the audience about what was to come in her lecture: foul, racist language and an unexpectedly long hand out. Leunissen then launched into the meat of the lecture. She talked about Aristotles observations on biology, such as his theory of the four humors of the human blood and the idea that humans are a special kind of animal.
Next on the agenda? Aristotles ideal city. Aristotle believed that it was a lawgivers job to help and manipulate nature and create an ideal city. The first step to achieve this ideal city was to select the natural ingredients, i.e. the perfect men who will inhabit the city. Here is where the talk of biology returned: Aristotle believed northern men had blood that made them too spirited and southern men had blood that made them too lazy. Men from Greece however, had the perfect blood balance and were therefore the perfect men to begin the ideal city. However, they wouldnt live forever, so their offspring also had to be perfect.
Aristotle enacted countless rules in his eugenic theory as far as how to produce the perfect offspring. Marriages must be regulated to create perfect pairs, parents had to be at the ideal age when creating children, woman at 18 and men at 37. Whats more, the timing of childbirth had to be at the ideal hour and season, newborns diet and body had to be tweaked carefully and finally, men and women had to stop procreating once the got past their prime age. He also set up many ramifications considering the parental body type that would produce the ideal child. Once the ideal child is produced, they can be the second generation for the continuation of the ideal city.
Aristotles views on biology directly correlate with what he says about politics. He says that nature should not be left up to chance; lawgivers need to step in and make sure things go the way they should. Aristotles theory of reproduction provides facts that the lawgiver can turn into norms for how child-production should be arranged in the ideal city.
Students enjoyed the presentation.Im a more science-y person, I might major in it, so it was interesting seeing the philosophical side of it and how traits are integrated, freshman Tanner Debellis said. It provided more insight into things Im studying even though they might not be the correct way. It was interesting to see things from this point of view.
Freshman Layne Raborn agreed.It was science through reason instead of science through experience, Raborn said. Leunissen was very funny in some parts and presented her topic very well.

Nice hat, buddy. A bull elephant seal wears a tracking tag glued to its fur. (LiveScience)A Ukrainian teenager is the toast of marine researchers half a world away after apparently witnessing something scientists have never seen an elephant seal devouring a slimy hagfish almost 3,000 feet below the surface of the ocean.
Kirill Dudko, a 14-year-old deep-sea biology nut, lives in the city of Donetsk. He was monitoring a live stream of undersea cameras when he spotted the seal in Barkley Canyon, off the west coast of Vancouver Island, making a meal of the unappetizing hagfish. It's thought to be shunned by predators because of the slimy mucus they exude. The fish, sometimes called slime eels, have existed largely unchanged for 300 million years.
But Dudko spotted the nose of an elephant seal slurping up the hagfish like a fugitive piece of fettuccine.
In a YouTube video of the Jan. 12 incident, Steven Mihaly, a staff scientist with Ocean Networks Canada, said the images confirmed for the first time speculation on how deep an elephant seal could dive.
Dudko emailed Neptune Canada, which links the 800-kilometre network of cameras and instruments to the Internet for Ocean Networks, based at the University of Victoria.

Monday morning we had an email from him saying, I saw something strange and weird. Some monster just ate a fish in front of me. What was it? And that sent all of us into a bit of a flurry to back this up," said associate director Kim Juniper.
It was like a horror film, the biology enthusiast wrote in his email, according to the Victoria Times Colonist. This creature wasnt like a fish and I realized it was a mammal because of the nose and moustache.
In a separate email to the Times Colonist, Dudko said he was puzzled because he didn't think any mammal except a whale could dive so deep.
In an interview with CBC News, Kiril's mother, Svetlana, said she was very proud of her son.
