C. metallidurans -- elegant genetic coding of Cupriavidus bacteria

natural bio-engeneering at work... the level of knowledge required to engineer this self-propagating, metal-extracting automaton is mind blowing. Imagine creating a product that can adapt to almost anything. The broad spectrum coding required (balancing the right amount of additions and omissions) is nothing short of ingeniously elegant! 

============================

Phylogenetic Tree taken from Mistral AI: (open to correction, if it has errors) i just find this bacteria so fascinating...
