Fuels Research Finds Algae Green in More Ways Than One
The untransformed plant (Nicotiana tabacum) (left) shows no morphological changes. The transgenic plant expressing the tobacco plastid accD gene (right) exhibits a waxy texture and changes in leaf morphology and color. Lipid content was higher in accD transgenic plants than in untransformed plants. (AFRL image)
Fuels Research Finds Algae Green in More Ways Than One
Sequenced left to right, transgenic algae clones modified with an oil-enhancing gene grow green after 14 days in antibiotic selection. The antibiotic spectinomycin affects the chloroplast ribosomes of untransformed algae but not those of transgenic algae. (AFRL image)

711 HPW working on device to remotely monitor warfighters’ health in the field
Master Sergeant Robert Bean, Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Aeronautical Systems Command, Battlefield Airman Branch (ASC/WISN), holds a wireless capsule that when ingested, measures core body temperature. A receiver unit worn on Master Sergeant Bean’s vest transmits the information to a computer for health status monitoring. The capsule is part of the Battlefield Automatic Life Status Monitor (BALSM) being developed by QinetiQ in coordination with the Human Effectiveness Directorate. (Photo by Chris Gulliford, 711 HPW)
