Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine

Oh God this is real!

thanks!!! weird stuff!!

Thread: UPDATE: MariaFire: 7,500 people in Santa Paula, Somis and Saticoy are under evacuations. The fire is now 8,730 acres!!!p37

I remember when this thread was first started in 2010. Time flies.

good grief!!

Scientists from the Michigan State University (MSU) have identified a set of genes in cyanobacteria — also called as blue-green algae — that can help boost energy yield from photosynthesis, and also pave way for a sustainable biotech production.


The team from MSU’s Cheryl Kerfeld lab identified a cyanobacterial gene, called Activase-Like Cyanobacterial protein, or ALC, that is similar to the plant rubisco activase.


The findings can help efforts to improve rubisco that will “increase energy yield from photosynthesis”, Lechno-Yossef said.

“The goal would be to rewire cyanobacteria’s photosynthetic machine to produce renewable energy compounds or materials for use in medicine or industry,” Lechno-Yossef said.

“Now we know that cyanobacteria have an enzyme that supports rubisco, we could try making more robust cyanobacteria for industrial applications,” said Lechno-Yossef.

It’s spreading throughout the country. And answers remain elusive



that is the actual headline!!


An epidemic is growing. It’s compromising drinking water in cities, making people sick. It’s killing dogs and cattle, even bats. It’s closing down lakes, resulting in economic losses for those reliant on lakeside recreation. And the reasons for its spread remain elusive.

Algae blooms have gripped Utah lakes, and their seasonal spread across the country is on the rise. By the end of August, a record 354 outbreaks had been reported since the beginning of the year, compared to 289 over the same period in 2018, according to the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization that researches water pollution.

The onset of fall will give the public a reprieve. But as the nation grapples with changing climate and a longer, warmer season, scientists are working to understand how to control this health threat.

An algal bloom occurs when a combination of heat and nutrients creates conditions for algae and cyanobacteria to thrive. The end of summer is particularly bad, and during August algae blooms plagued small towns and cities across the country, from New York City ponds to a lake in Austin, Texas, and the Russian River in California.

One study led by an EPA scientist in 2016 found that an increase of phosphorus, one of the nutrients that algal blooms thrive on, was widespread across the United States. The last National Lakes Assessment results released in 2012 found 40% of lakes tested had excess phosphorus.

The Blue-Green Algae Task Force in Florida aims to expedite water quality improvements in the next five years with a list of recommendations delivered to lawmakers.


A key responsibility for this group is making recommendations to reduce algae blooms that have plagued coastal Florida, particularly as a result of the toxic algae releases in Lake Okeechobee in 2018. Initiated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the release contained cyanobacteria and harmful algae blooms. There were 12 times during the 2018 blue-green algae bloom when water in and around the St. Lucie River was too toxic to swim in, according to the Department of Environmental Protection algae website.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers acknowledged it has released water from Lake Okeechobee into the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie rivers that has contained toxic cyanobacteria.

In a hearing about the releases from Lake Okeechobee, U.S. Rep. Brian Mast, a Palm City Republican, questioned Maj. Gen. Scott Spellmon of the Corps.

The hearing took place before the U.S. House of Representatives Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in Washington, D.C. Wednesday, and Mast published a portion of the exchange on his website.

REP. MAST: Has the Army Corps of Engineers transferred toxic water — toxic water — from Lake Okeechobee to the East through the C-44 [canal] into the St. Lucie Estuary and the Indian River Lagoon and to the West through the Caloosahatchee River?

MAJOR GENERAL SCOTT SPELLMON: Yes, sir. We have conveyed water out the system that has contained cyanobacteria and harmful algae blooms. Yes, sir.

REP. MAST: And the Corps considers that toxic?

MG SPELLMON: Yes, sir.

Releases from Lake Okeechobee contributed to last year's disastrous blue-green algae bloom, which crippled the Caloosahatchee River and filled some Southwest Florida canals with carpet-like mats of toxic algae.

What are the long-term health effects, if any, to people who work on a lake polluted with toxic blue-green algae blooms? Can boating kick toxins into the air?

Those are among the questions scientists hope to answer in a 2020 study of at least 50 Lake Okeechobee biologists, fishing guides, airboat operators and commercial fishermen.

Nov. 18 is the deadline for the public to give its opinion on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's study before the National Center for Environmental Health can begin its research.

The study will attempt to collect biological information through sampling of blood, urine, lung function and nasal swabs before the next blue-green algae bloom, and then during it, according to the outline of the project as presented in the Federal Register.

Algae sits on top of Lake Okeechobee waters, seen pooled on the lake side at Port Mayaca Lock and Dam on Monday, June 11, 2019, in Martin County.

Cyanobacteria has been an issue since about the 1930s, according to UW limnology expert and UW integrative biology professor Emily Stanley, but it's the past five years that puts cyanobacteria at its worst for Madison-area lakes.

"This summer has just been constant, sort of steady blue-greens in the lake," Stanley said. "It's been always green. I would rank this as a high up there in the bad blue-green summers."

Stanley said one of the biggest factors of an algae bloom is the excess phosphorus in lakes, and that the majority of the phosphorus comes from nearby row crop and dairy farms. Farmers might use cow manure to fertilize their crops, and when the rain washes part of the fertilized soil away, it can end up in lakes.

University of Michigan scientists are involved in several cyanobacteria-related projects, some of which are a direct result of the August 2014 Toledo water crisis. Some of the studies focus on basic cyanobacteria biology, while others aim to protect public health. A few of the projects are summarized below.

New robotic labs to track toxicity of Lake Erie cyanobacteria bloom this summer

New robotic lake-bottom laboratories will keep a watchful eye on western Lake Erie’s cyanobacteria bloom this summer, and a mobile lab housed inside a cigar-shaped autonomous underwater glider will be tested there in mid-August.

In a direct response to the 2014 Toledo water crisis, a research team from U-M’s Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration field-tested an environmental sample processor, or ESP, in fall 2016 in western Lake Erie and deployed it for regular service in July 2017.

Genetic changes are the primary focus when studying intraspecific divergence; however, the role of ecological interactions, particularly host-microbiome symbioses, is receiving increased attention. The relative importance of these evolutionary and ecological mechanisms has seen only limited evaluation.

To address this question, we used Microcystis aeruginosa, the globally distributed cyanobacterium that dominates freshwater harmful algal blooms.

These blooms have been increasing in occurrence and intensity worldwide, causing major economic and ecological damages.

We evaluated 46 isolates of M. aeruginosa and their microbiomes, collected from 14 lakes in Michigan, USA, that vary over 20-fold in phosphorus levels, the primary limiting nutrient in freshwater systems. Genomes of M. aeruginosa diverged along this phosphorus gradient in genomic architecture and protein functions.

Fitness in low-phosphorus lakes corresponded with additional shifts within M. aeruginosa including genome-wide reductions in nitrogen use, an expansion of phosphorus assimilation genes and an alternative life history strategy of nonclonal colony formation.

Back at the Gulf, University of Florida’s Jack Davis believes it’s long past time to focus on preserving the living shore with mangrove forests, coastal marshes, and seagrass beds.

“These create filters, a carbon sink, plus a habitat that makes a defense against pollution,” he said. “And we must encourage regenerative farming that won’t create such toxic runoff that ends up in the Gulf.”

Omg

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is releasing Lake Okeechobee water to the Caloosahatchee River again, but these discharges are expected to help the river and estuary.

Lake O releases have been a controversial topic for decades as the water is often too much or too little for the ailing Caloosahatchee and its estuary, which stretches from the W. P. Franklin Lock and Dam in Alva to the Gulf of Mexico.

Last year, releases brought a toxic blue-green algae bloom to the river. The outbreak spread into the estuary and stayed in some Cape Coral and Fort Myers canals for months.

This year is different, though.

We don’t want to see the river become inoculated with cyanobacteria (toxic blue-green algae), but this is the time of year when you might least expect to see a cyanobacteria bloom in the estuary because water temperatures have gone down and we’re getting to the end of the most wet season."

The future of Lake Okeechobee releases will be guided by a group that's meeting for the first time Tuesday in Clewiston.

Called the project delivery team, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is the lead federal agency involved with the project, which includes developing new release protocols for what's often referred to as the heart of the historic Everglades.

"We’re going to be doing a lot of modeling and I think the colonel is looking not at numbers, but what’s going on at the lake," Skolte said. "We’re not aiming at a number but seeing how are things looking. Is the lake looking good? Are the estuaries healthy?"

Lake Okeechobee releases are often controversial on the west coast because water from the lake can damage the delicate Caloosahatchee River estuary or bring toxic blue-green algal blooms to Lee County.

So, has anyone actually figured out yet what really went BERZERK in the Gulf Of Mexico?

Yes, ages ago. House Dad worked out the acronym, and we have known what the organism is for a while now too.

I choose to call it AUg1, which is an amalgam of the gold (AU) morphing phase, the original nickname 'orgie', (or-gee, not the sex party spelling) from organism, and '1' for being the first phase.

A primordial organism, likely left by extra terrestrials as either a terraforming/bioforming mechanism, or control mechanism if tech got to a point where it became a threat.

The organism was activated via GRB's from deep space using the Chinese Great Wall array in Antarctica.

But our OP and intel source has passed away, so pretty much anything after his departure is just speculation on our part.

Hi DMG, thanks for the note.

Cyanobacteria were discussed in the thread for their ability to create gold in various forms, especially at nano level.

At this level, the gold could be used to 'unzip' DNA strands and allow reprogramming and even third strands.

As stated above the term I use for the organism, AUg1 is directly related to the gold aspect (AU) and the on-going morphing of the organism from original status to .... something else.

We speculated that nano gold was used by it to 'bioform' other simple life forms, which were coincidentally made available in the trillions through CoRexit, and the genetically wiped and reprogrammed 'oil eating' bacterias created by BP/Craig Venter's collaboration.

The bacteria were able to be morphed into new, larger colonies that likely were sentient when in large colonies, and still able to move through the oil columns, and underground natural pipeways.

Not to mention the false seabed created by the very same bacteria creating methyl hydrates at that depth as the excreted methane.

Perfect plan.

So when I see so many articles on cyanobacteria, and how they are here to 'save us' from the evil algae... I see a totally different angle. Good, good, good, all the while releasing it for nefarious reasons.

Maybe it is just like all the sci-fi TV shows where some people align with their alien invaders, simply to survive?

You'd need a lot of gold to unzip every living thing on the planet and "make them into their own image". Puts a different take on old writings like the Bible and also why gold is an obsession with those in the know, who hold all the power. They just never knew when AUg1 would be reactivated! Hence the hoarding of it all.

Just on cyanobacterias, dont forget that they spew forth from pretty much every undersea volcanic vent, and also become aerosolised with every volcanic surface erruption.

We worry about chemtrails, but I'm beginning to think they might actually be a 'fight back, and containment solution' just as fracking is a 'pressure relief and kill solution'.

What better way to hide impending doom by creating the opposite notion of what it is actually for - to hide the fact we are slowly being bioformed?

Bit miserable post. Soz folks, but that's how I see it.

But considerable nanotechnology is required to assemble these marvelous wires. The claim above is not accompanied by any detailed or convincing explanation of how this “evolutionary development” was accomplished.

nano tech is scary business

US engineers have reported progress in the quest to gather usable electricity from bacteria.

Scientists know that certain species of bacteria living in oxygen-deprived environments (including the human gut) have evolved a unique form of breathing that involves excreting and pumping out electrons. In other words, they actually produce electricity that could, in theory, be used to power equipment or purify water.

And with this knowledge, researchers are working, for example, to design effective microbial fuel cells or generate power from organic waste. NASA is even investigating whether bacteria could power future space missions.

What has hampered turning theory into such practical reality, however, is that it is hard to pin down the exact nature of a bacterium’s electrical properties. The cells are much smaller than mammalian ones, and extremely difficult to grow in laboratory conditions.

Now researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US have developed a microfluidic technique they say can quickly process small samples of bacteria and gauge a specific property that's highly correlated with microbes’ ability to produce electricity.

This month (March 5, 2019), scientists at Washington State University described the first-ever successful in situ collection of a little-known species of bacteria that eats and breathes electricity.

The researchers published their peer-reviewed findings in the Journal of Power Sources.

They successfully captured the enigmatic electricity-eating bacteria last August in the Heart Lake Geyser Basin area of Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park. Their work took them on long hikes to four pristine hot springs in that area. WSU graduate student Abdelrhman Mohamed, who is first author on the study, commented:

This was the first time such bacteria were collected in situ in an extreme environment like an alkaline hot spring.

He added that temperatures in the springs ranged from about 110 to nearly 200 degrees Fahrenheit (43 to 93 degrees Celsius).
