Microbes are little alchemists that perform all manner of chemical reactions. Microbiologist Brayden Tierney wondered whether he could harness those abilities somehow. So he co-founded the Two Frontiers Project to do just that.
Now the team is turning their sights to the microbes in your shower heads, drip pans, hot water heaters, a set of extreme environments that may have pressured microorganisms into surviving in ways we could take advantage of. Tierney's team is reaching out to homeowners nationwide to contribute their snots and goos. Ari Daniel, NPR News.
