NASA scientists recently announced the discovery of a bacteria that could grow on arsenic
instead of phosphorus(A bacterium that can grow by using arsenic instead of phosphorus. (2011).
Science). How could this occur chemically (describe how P is used in the cell and how arsenic
could replace it). What are some of the criticisms of scientists to the paper/concept chemically?
Solution
generally the Life is mostly composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen,
sulfur, and phosphorus . Although these six elements make up nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids
and thus the bulk of living matter, it is theoretically possible that some other elements in the
periodic table could serve the same functions. Here, we describe a bacterium, strain GFAJ-1 of
the Halomonadaceae, isolated from Mono Lake, California, that is able to substitute arsenic for
phosphorus to sustain its growth. some data show evidence for arsenate in macromolecules that
normally contain phosphate, most notably nucleic acids and proteins. Exchange of one of the
major bio-elements may have profound evolutionary and geochemical importance.
