So we've all heard of
So we've all heard of Streptococcus pyrogens: it's a fever-inducing (pyrogenic) specie of the Streptococcus genus of bacteria, strep-throat (as said above).
Here's a strange thing though.
The "autoname" given by photoshop doesn't match the "autodescription" or the "flood containment" at the top of the pic. You see, BC3779-001, or BC3779, rather, is a protein from the bacterium Bacillus cereus. Why two different bacteria?
Here's the creepy part. BC3779 is a recombination protein that naturally exists in the food-poisoning-inducing B. cereus. What does that mean? Well, basically the enzyme causes DNA to recombine (albeit within itself) so that it can perform asexual reproduction and still cause gene diversity (evolve itself). The thought of an enzyme that can alter DNA though is frightening. It is also said that the enzyme induces the "SOS response", which means that when DNA is damaged, it can still reproduce unaffected (or hopefully unaffected) copies of itself. If you want to read up a bit on BC3779, it's called a recA recombination protein.
My $0.02 worth.
