Question

Toxic feeding frenzy

Genetically-engineered microorganisms that devour toxic wastes and oil are being touted as

the solution to a variety of environmental problems, but the government is reluctant to let them out

of the laboratory until scientists come up with a proven method of controlling their spread. The

best method researchers have devised so far is a “suicide gene” system that signals a microbe to

kill itself once its mission is completed. These genes will be engineered to degrade toxic

substances such as toluene and xylene in the soil.
