The plaque reads, Albert Einstein lived here.

Now this is actually a popular plaque, and this is a crowd of overachievers, so I'm betting that some of you have this plaque.

It could be anti bacterial.

But it's not bacterial pneumonia.

This is the bacterial Esperanto.

And so the yellow is the fatty plaque, and panel A is a man.

For that I won a big old plaque Man of the Year in Education.

This is now supposed to be my bacterial cell.

Our arteries can clog. Our brains can gunk up with plaque, and we can get Alzheimer's.

There's a little plaque on the end that, you know, each buyer gets their name engraved on it.

One new site has been added, namely a Memorial plaque at India Point, Humbolt Mountain, Dronning Maud Land.

So, 10 times more bacterial cells than human cells on a human being.

United Nations inspectors found no evidence that Iraq produced dry bacterial warfare agents.

Heart attacks and strokes are caused by the build up of fatty material in artery walls to form a plaque.

If the plaque breaks apart it can cause a blood clot, blocking blood to the heart causing a heart attack.

And along comes pneumococcus or another bacteria, streptococcus and boom, they get a bacterial pneumonia.

So our team developed new techniques for actually growing, cloning entire bacterial chromosomes in yeast.

From the dust, we pulled out bacterial cells, broke them open, and compared their gene sequences.

So, we pushed the piles down through the dune, and we create an initial bacterial surface.

They either pop the bacterial membrane, they make the bacterium so it can't replicate its DNA.

Carole Lartigue led the effort to actually transplant a bacterial chromosome from one bacteria to another.

And we said, We're going to hypothesize that the fatty plaque in women is actually probably different, and deposited differently, than men.

Remember you have these 10 times or more bacterial cells in you or on you, keeping you healthy.

And so far in the H5N1 cases in people, similarly bacterial infection has not been an issue at all.

Decades later, it turned out that the source of their blindness was most likely some sort of bacterial infection.

But now moving from bacterial engineering to tissue engineering, let me show you what's happened in that period of time.

An example of an organism or two that happens to be quite immortal would be plant seeds or bacterial spores.

What you're looking at is a signature of bacterial communities in the outdoor air, and how they vary over time.

I know you think of yourself as human beings, but I think of you as 90 or 99 percent bacterial.

It's an amazing step forward, but we had a problem because now we had the bacterial chromosomes growing in yeast.

As was subsequently explained by Iraq, it produced liquid bacterial biological warfare agents accepting a moderate risk of airborne contamination.

We're here today to announce the first synthetic cell, a cell made by starting with the digital code in the computer, building the chromosome from four bottles of chemicals, assembling that chromosome in yeast, transplanting it into a recipient bacterial cell and transforming that cell into a new bacterial species.

The NGO alliance in New York and Vienna presented Mr. Vetere with a plaque in order to remind him of the friendship and gratefulness of the NGO community.

We can understand, for example, why we create plaque in our arteries, what creates the starchiness inside of a grain, why does yeast metabolize sugar and produce carbon dioxide.

Our researchers are interacting with this data by injecting bacterial code, which are computer programs, that allow these creatures to grow over time.

Well it turns out you have 100 times more bacterial genes playing a role in you or on you all of your life.

Bacterial cellulose is actually already being used for wound healing, and possibly in the future for biocompatible blood vessels, possibly even replacement bone tissue.

Course, like light, it's great to be able to put sound to highlight a clothing rack, or the cornflakes, or the toothpaste, or a talking plaque in a movie theater lobby.

You don't have to heat them up as hot as you would something you do pressure canning because bacterial spores can't grow in the acid.

It turns out, the DNA in the bacterial cell was actually methylated, and the methylation protects it from the restriction enzyme, from digesting the DNA.

Bacterial spores are thought now by scientists to exist as individual cells that are alive, but in suspended animation for as long as 250 million years.

Here, this cloaked, secret agent virus is slipping his DNA into the bacterial cell, but here's the kicker It doesn't do anything harmful not at first.

As was subsequently learned, Iraq produced bacterial biological warfare agents at Al Hakam with a moderate risk of airborne contamination due to the generation of aerosols.

By the way, Tony Hayward, the former CEO of BP, had a plaque on his desk inscribed with this inspirational slogan What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

You'll see broad bacterial groups, and if you look at the shape of this pink lobe, it tells you something about the relative abundance of each group.
