#Lotto sorcerer check my numbers ever played skin
Sederma (Le Perray en Yvelines, France) sells Venuceane™, a skin protection product that includes a radical-scavenging enzyme originally discovered in extremophile bacteria from the Gulf of California ( Lintner et al, 2002). Diversa (San Diego, CA, USA) and New England Biolabs (NEB Ipswich, MA, USA) sell DNA polymerases isolated from deep-sea vents that offer advantages such as increased thermostability and improved proofreading capabilities for the polymerase chain reaction. Until now, only a few products have made it from research to market.
Shank's research is just one example of the potential commercial possibilities emerging from the genetic wealth in the deep sea, sometimes coined ‘blue gold’. According to Shank, studying the DNA-repair mechanisms of the organism may lead to new insights about cancer growth and even possible treatments. The organism lives in the presence of carcinogenic amounts of polyaromatic hydrocarbons, but does not develop cancer. Tim Shank, a biologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI Woods Hole, MA, USA), is studying a worm that lives at 80 ☌ in an oily tar-like pit near submarine vents. The first six months of 2005 saw the publication of the discovery of a jellyfish that uses red fluorescent flashes to lure fish ( Haddock et al, 2005) and the genome sequence of Photobacterium profundum strain SS9 ( Vezzi et al, 2005), 20 years after the microorganism was isolated from an amphipod animal living 2,500 m deep in the Philippine Sulu Sea ( Yayanos, 1995).
