Badwater Basin: Death Valley Microbe Thrives ThereLas Vegas NV (SPX) Dec 30, 2011 Nevada, the "Silver State," is well-known for mining precious metals. But scientists Dennis Bazylinski and colleagues at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) do a different type of mining. They sluice through every water body they can find, looking for new forms of microbial magnetism. In a basin named Badwater on the edge of Death Valley National Park, Bazylinski and researcher Christopher Lefevre hit pay dirt. Lefevre is with the French National Center of Scientific Research and University ... read more |
