Artificial bacteria are the biggest hope and the biggest threat.

   Artificial bacteria are the biggest hope and the biggest threat. 




Artificial bacteria are not. Like natural bacteria.  


DNA and mRNA are tools that can rewrite a cell's genetic code. That means the cell changes its shape and then starts to make different things than the original cells. The ability to program cells is an opportunity. And threat. The ability to remove hereditary diseases from the human body. The problem is that the same technology allows researchers to make  more perfect lifeforms. Than natural organisms. Artificial life normally means bacteria. Created using genetic reprogramming. In that case, the DNA bits will be collected and connected into the new form. That allows researchers to create bacteria that create antibiotics and spider silk, which is the strongest material in nature. 

Bacteria can be reprogrammed to search and destroy cancer cells. And probably, genetically engineered cells can form tissues for the bioprinters. Reprogrammed bacteria can also make it possible to create a large mass of things like skin. In that case, bacteria are on the nutrient platform, and the system just changes the DNA in their nucleus. Theoretically is possible to create anaerobic bacteria. That releases oxygen into blood vessels. That kind of anaerobic, biological oxygen synthesis is one of the most fascinating things in biotechnology. 



The ability to create artificial bacteria allows researchers to create new types of biological weapons. The same thing. That allows bacteria to search and destroy cancer cells. Allows weaponized bacteria to find things. Like neural structures or the blood vessel wall. And then attack those vital tissues. That kind of bacteria is very dangerous. There is a possibility. The bacteria themselves copy the targeted person’s cell antigens into themselves. And another dangerous thing is that. Those bacteria can destroy themselves after a certain time. When we think about the perfect, artificial organisms, we must realize that those organisms can turn the “Alien” movie monsters into reality. 

There can be infectious bacteria that can create things. Like the HIV virus at the same time. That allows those bacteria to destroy the immune defense at the same time. Here, we must remember that artificial bacteria are made. Connecting DNA bits together.  It is not like natural bacteria. That means those bacteria can make things. That is not possible for natural bacteria. 

Researchers can create artificial organisms, and the same technology that makes bacteria resistant to poisons can turn them resistant to antibiotics. When we think about aliens, we might think of a very complicated lifeform. from outer space. The fact is that the term “alien” means something non-natural. Biolaboratory can create aliens that nothing can resist. Those aliens are not like humans; they are microscopic organisms. Those creatures can be a fast-increasing bacterial population. Those bacteria can look like hospital bacteria. 

The thing that protects us against immune-resistant super bacteria is their complicated form. Their population will not increase fast enough to it can cause problems outside the hospitals. Natural bacteria destroy those organisms very fast. The biggest threat is the super bacteria that can increase their population too fast. If antibiotics cannot destroy those bacteria. They can cause problems.

What do bacteria sound like? (Bacterial drum can use for making complicated nanomachines)



A graphene drum can use to make the bacterial soundtrack. That thing might not seem anything else than some kind of nerd thing. That they can publish on YouTube.

But the graphene drum can use to make the real things. Sound waves are the pressure impulses that can move objects. The graphene drums and bacteria can use to transfer parts for the nanomachines. The problem with nanomachines is to create a system that can hold their parts long enough that they can take their part in the entirety. 

The bacteria that are in that graphene drum can equip with magnetic crystals. And the magnetic field can use to turn that bacteria in the wanted direction. Many of the nanomachines are operating in liquid. So the bacteria and graphene drum can use for making the complicated structures on a molecular scale. 

The magnetic systems allow moving nanomachines where is iron. But with non-magnetic molecules must be found some other method to move them. And one of those methods is the sound waves. That system is suitable if the nanomachine will be made to operate in the liquid. 

The problem with complicated nanomachines is that their parts are a little bit too heavy for optical tweezers or crossing laser rays. The pressure tweezers are too heavy tools. When the small- molecular-size complicated structures must position in the right place. The graphene drums can use as movers and acoustic tweezers.

Putting four graphene drums in the right position makes it possible to put sound waves crossing at the right point. Then that allows anchoring of the molecule at the right point. The problem with the nanomachines and especially in the protein-based nanomachines is that. Their shape means lots of their actions. The system that moves those proteins must keep them in the perfect shape.

Dangers of the antibiotics resistant bacteria

https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Anthrax is very easy to detect as the biological weapon. That kind of stuff can be delivered by using letters. and sometimes I have thought that could somebody send that kind of letter to the targeted persons, and be clever enough to avoid the authorities? The only needed thing for that is that the person has got the vaccine against that bacteria. The production of vaccine would happen by killing the bacteria by using UV-lamps, and the core antigen of that bacteria would make the immune system to detect and fight against those organisms.

The problem with this method, where the bacteria or viruses DNA would be destroyed is that this method can be used to make new kind of biological weapons by using natural organisms, what is the breed for resisting the antibiotics. This methodology would allow creating more deadly and unseen biological weapons by using bacteria, what are classified as the harmless because the antibiotics have been effective against them. In nature, this kind of population of Tuberculosis is forming in Africa, because people would not eat their antibiotics as they are meant. And because the period of using medicine would finish too early, would that leave the strongest bacteria alive. And that makes the population of bacteria, what is resistant to antibiotics.  Bacteria is more suitable for biological weapons than viruses because controlling those organisms is easier than controlling viruses.

Stealth biological weapons are harder to detect. They are bacteria like Tuberculosis, what are only made strengthen by using UV-radiation or antibiotics for creating the population, what is immune for antibiotics. In that operation would weak individuals of the population killed by giving them medicines or radiation, and that kind of organism would be absolutely lethal, and also it's hard to discover as the biological weapon.

Making super dangerous bacteria is happening to give the population UV-radiation. That radiation would kill the bacteria, what are genetically weak, After that the strong bacteria is left in population. And this makes those organisms very lethal. By using this method, could somebody make strikes, what is very hard to notice as the biological weapon, In this case, even the Streptococcus would be turned as the perfect biological weapon, what is very hard to separate as the weapons. Use of natural organisms is a dangerous method, because the strikes, what are made with bioweapons can be hidden from the public audience.

The strange thing about some letters, what sends in those cases, is that the used organism was Anthrax, what is profiled as a biological weapon. This makes some of those strikes very interesting because if somebody wants to kill some other person, there would be more suitable weapons for that thing, and those weapons are harder to track. Botulinum and Phosgene are easier to get, and the making of those chemicals is easier than handling Anthrax. Only thing, what the producer need to get is grass or meat with earth, and the drum, what can be closed airtight. And in anaerobic conditions, the organisms would make those chemicals, if the murdered man wants to use poison,

But protection against those chemicals is harder than protection against Anthrax. If the handler would have vaccine or antibiotics would that organism not to infect that person. But the key element is, if that person, who wants to make murder does have Vaccine, and the right conditions for making that weapon, would the Anthrax very effective way to give the signal, that nobody is safe.

Why penicillin is losing its power?

https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Penicillin was one of the first so-called wonder medical, what was easy to produce and that mushroom poison has saved billions of lives. But the fact is that this medicine has been lost its power. The penicillin is used without control and the problem with this kind of usage is that the bacteria, what have weak genomes would be destroyed. And the bacteria with strong genomes are surviving from this medicine.

The doses and numbers of the penicillin pills have calculated that way, the dose of the medicine is effective against bacteria, and when the period is over, the bacteria would be lost. In this case, the patient must eat all pills, but if this person would not do that, it will begin the eugenics process in that bacteria population. That means the penicillin destroys weak bacteria, and that would make those bacteria stronger than ever before.


This method where bacteria would expose by medicine or ultra-violet light is used to make artificial bacteria population for biological warfare. In the movies, we see that biological weapons are mainly the viruses like Ebola, but in the real life the laboratories, what investigates biological warfare are interested in natural bacteria like tuberculosis because every state in the world has signed the treatment to deny the biological weapons. But those weapons are very attractive in the world of the military.


The producer of the strong bacteria doesn't need complicated laboratories. Only thing, what that person needs is the raising platform where is the bacteria culture and ultra-violet light. By using that equipment can this person create extreme lethal and invisible biological weapons. So this makes this thing so frightening. The actors might not be governmental, and the purpose of the biological weapon could sweep some area clean from people, that some company can begin to dig the diamonds from those areas.


And when we are thinking about the "blood diamonds" of Congo, we might ask, are those diggings happen without the knowledge of the mining companies, or how those diamonds what are using for buying guns for the guerrillas enter the marketing, and how they can sell it to buyers? That kind of people would like that there is no evidence about their actions in the jungles because that would be bad for business. In those officially illegal mining would be many people, who are working as slaves for getting the weapons for the gunmen, who are controlling the diamonds. And if they would inject the bacteria to the workers, they could kill them imperceptibly by using bacteria like cholera or diphtheria, what is easy to claim natural epidemics.  And in that case, the workers must not get their payments, what those guerrillas have promised for them.


The natural organisms are easy to weaponize by making them stronger than before. In those cases, the tolerance capacity of bacteria would be increased by breeding them by using antibiotics or ultra-violet radiation. After that, the super-bacteria would be delivered to the area, and that would seem like normal epidemics, what would be caused by resistant tuberculosis. And here I must ask, is there something, what somebody doesn't want to tell the people about the antibiotics resistant bacteria like tuberculosis, because those things are not often handle in public media?

Fictional swimming trip to the exoplanets oceans


Artist's impression of Kepler 22b

http://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/p/fictional-swimming-trip-to-exoplanets.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Every exoplanet, what we know is very far away, and that's the reason, why all trips to those planets are only speculations. We must create more advanced technology to make that kind of trip to exoplanets like Kepler 22b, where seems to be the giant ocean. That kind of exoplanets are very fascinating and in many imaginational stories, people would swim in those giant oceans, what are covering all planet. Oceans of those water-planets are very deep, and if the estimated depth of the oceans is 100 kilometers, the swimmer would see the darkness under the body.


There could also be water-planets, what have islands and shoal ocean, what might be only 20 meters deep, but this is only the speculation. Nowadays scientists have found only the exoplanets, what would have very deep oceans or another way we might say, that water layer on the surface of those planets is very squad. Kepler 22b is actually 1,5 times larger than Earth, and that's why swimming on its oceans would be extremely heavy.


And even there would not be the similar atmosphere, what allows our fictional astronaut to breath, in the oceans might be animals. Of course, those animals might be very big, like giant whales, because there might be Oxygen in the oceans. But the main problem would be bacteria-size fauna. Those very small organisms would cause infection in the bodies of astronauts, and that would be the biggest threat in that trip.


That's why we cannot go any habitable planet without bio-protective suit and gas masks, or the organisms on that planet would destroy us. The bio-protective suit is actually the overalls, what denies the skin to make contact with the atmosphere and microbes. In some scenarios, the astronauts, who would land to the habitable planet would cover their skin with Vaseline, or some other material like rubber, what would be sprayed to their skin, but this solution would leave skin without oxygen.


And that's why those astronauts must be used NBC-gas gear. If those astronauts want to use sprayed protection, they must be careful, because the bacteria, what is going to the anaerobic environment could cause infections. That's is the reason, that those sprayed solutions would not be suitable for the long-term use. But the film of this thing would be below the text, and I hope that you enjoy that film.
