(PhysOrg.com) -- Marching to their own drummer. That's what bacteria from different environments do when turning toxic, mobile selenium into a less dangerous, non-mobile form, according to a study led by Dr. Carolyn Pearce. Pearce, formerly of the University of Manchester, is now conducting her research at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The research she and her team did graced the November 2009 cover of Environmental Technology. This was a special issue for the Chalocogen Cycle Science and Technology Conference.
