Science Takes On a Silent Invader
A New York biologist has found a bacterium that kills invasive zebra and quagga mussels but leaves other mollusks unharmed.
"In
1995, after four years of testing more than 700 bacterial strains,
excited staff members called Dr. Molloy into the lab. “Strain CL145A,” a
bacterium he had collected in river mud, was killing zebra mussels. It
turned out to be a strain of P. fluorescens.
“A
toxin in the strain’s dead cells destroys the digestive system in a
mussel,” he explained later. “Dead cells are equally lethal as live
cells, providing clear evidence that the mussels die from an intoxicating natural product, not from infection.”"
Loud applause!
