Of course this type of
important work is going on all around the world. Here's a like to the
website of the Environmental Biotechnology Laboratory in Japan. When you
get to the site, if you click on each of the "Typical Studies", you get
a pretty detailed scientific explanation about that they're working on.

- SUPER MICROBE!!!
Deinococcus
radiodurans, whose Latin
name means "strange berry that withstands radiation",
may turn out to be a
superhero in environmental biotechnology. This little "bug" could help
solve the problem of the world's radioactive waste because it can
withstand 3,000 times more radioactivity than a human.
