Bioengineering the Anthroposphere


Scientists successfully develop 'heat resistant' coral to fight bleaching

Using a technique called "directed evolution", they then exposed the cultured microalgae to increasingly warmer temperatures over a period of four years.

Say it with me, Direct Evolution (aka Bioengineering the Anthroposphere aka Geoengineering the Anthropocene).

Sustainable light achieved in living plants

The popular fascination for sustainably glowing foliage is being realized through advances in designer genetics. 
The scientists revealed that bioluminescence found in some mushrooms is metabolically similar to the natural processes common among plants. By inserting DNA obtained from the mushroom, the scientists were able to create plants that glow much brighter than previously possible.
