A new type of bacteria has been discovered that uses poisonous arsenic to build its DNA.
All life on Earth was thought to have been composed of six elements: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur…until now. This newly-discovered microorganism, called GFAJ-1, was found in Mono Lake, California. The building blocks used to create its genetic material contain arsenic, which is poisonous to all but a few organisms on Earth!
Thanks for this article Matt! Scientists found this Bacteria and it is redefining what life can be! Crazy stuff. We have a lot of a chemical called Phosphorus in us. This bacteria may be replacing phosphorus in it's DNA with Arsenic? (a deadly substance for us??). We'll see.

I played the matching game on the web site and I think it's a fun way to learn!
