For #InternationalMensDay, let's look at three men who tested their own theories on themselves.

🧪 Marshall: drank Helicobacter pylori.
🦠 Hunter: self-inoculated.
🦟 Lazear: took yellow-fever mosquito bites.

Dangerous experiments, major impact.

🌊 🛢️When an oil spill hits the ocean, Alcanivorax borkumensis gets to work.
This marine #bacterium naturally lives in seawater, but when oil is present, it multiplies fast and starts breaking it down.
In other words: it eats oil. 👉 https://t.co/CPVCmdj86b

🧃Did you know there’s a bacterium that can eat plastic?
In 2016, Ideonella sakaiensis was discovered living on plastic bottles at a recycling plant in Japan.
This small discovery has big implications for about plastic waste and bioremediation.
