Will
carbon dioxyde shorten our lifespan?
Not entirely far-fetched. A remarkable
study published in PLoS Biology shows that
the destruction of a carbon dioxyde
receptor in Drosophila flies shortens
their lifespan considerably. A link
between longevity and the nervous system
of animals has been firmly established for
some time, raising questions about the
role of gazeous compounds in triggering
responses for survival. Yet another effect
of carbon dioxyde, far from greenhouse
effects, but that may have had an
important role in the past on the way the
Earth has been populated by plants and
animals. |

A
marine bacterium at the rind of soft
cheese.
The
exploration of the bacterial flora of the
rind of soft cheese Livarot has uncovered
the presence of a completely unexpected
bacterium, Pseudoalteromonas
haloplanktis, the model of which is
found
in Antarctica! this is
understandable if one remembers that this
bacterium grows extremely rapidly at low
temperature (appropriate for cheese
ripening), and that it stands high salt
concentrations: Livarot is a rind
salt-washed cheese. Int
