Organizing capability

The types of molecules synthesized by biotechnological techniques are restricted to those biomolecules whose stmctures can be encoded in the DNA of organisms capable of translating them into functional nanomaterials. Other types of molecules and nanomaterials can be synthesized by chemical synthetic approaches, such as covalent syntheses and molecular self-assembly of molecular units. 

Iron-Oxidizing Bacteria. These are aerobic organisms capable of growing in systems with less than 0.5 ppm oxygen. They oxidize iron from ferrous to the ferric state by the following mechanism ... 

At that time few micro-organisms capable of using methanol as sole source of carbon methylotrophs and energy (methylotrophs) had been isolated, and so steps were taken to isolate such organisms from samples of soil, water and vegetation. 

Table 8. Comparison of flavin reductase from various organisms capable of supporting biodesulfurization...

Two strains were isolated and purified, Pseudomonas sp. CDT-4, and Nocardia aster-oides, CDT-4b (ATCC 202160 and 202161, respectively). The microbes were passed through a multiple screen, first to allow growth on dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a sole source of sulfur, and then on fossil fuels, to identify organisms capable of desulfurization without metabolizing the DBT phenyl ring structures. N. asteroides sp. CDT-4b was found to metabolize DBT. The Pseudomonas species was found to utilize trace levels of sulfate from media and was found to be incapable of growth on DBT as a sole source of sulfur. However, the co-culture could remove more than 20% sulfur, with supplementation of a second sulfur-free carbon source. 

Xerotolerant an organism capable of growth at low water activity. For example, an extreme halophile or endolith. 

One of the purposes for attaining the Stone of the Wise enshrined in the Mercury center (astrologically, Mercury rules communication) is to produce a receptor capable of receiving the more rarefied spiritual influences and an organism capable of transmitting them. Selfish salvation there is none. It is for all others, as well as for ourselves, that we undertake the Work. Likewise, in Mahayana Buddhism, all rituals and meditations end with the dedication that Whatever benefits are accrued may help all beings to reach Enlightenment. ... 

Chrysiogenes arsenatis is the only known organism capable of using acetate as the electron donor and arsenate as the terminal electron acceptor for growth. This reduction of arsenate to arsenite is catalyzed by an inducible respiratory arsenate reductase, which has been isolated and characterized by Kraft and Macy (1998). Arsenate reductase (Arr) from C. arsenatis is a... 

This enzyme is mainly found in liver and kidney, the only two organs capable of releasing free glucose into the blood.
