The Trump family company wants to trademark the use of the president’s name on any airports but says it doesn’t plan on charging a fee — at least for a proposed renaming of one near his Florida home.

Bacteria are masters of survival, thriving even in the most extreme environments on Earth. A changing climate impacting these underexplored ecosystems, however, may be like opening Pandora’s box, unleashing bacteria resistant to conventional antibiotics into wider ecosystems. To better understand what genetic bacterial diversity is hidden in ice, researchers isolated a bacterial strain from a 5,000-year-old layer of ice recovered from one of the largest ice caves in Romania, only to discover its resistance to 10 commonly used antibiotics. Besides demonstrating the existence of potentially dangerous microorganisms currently locked in environments vulnerable to global warming, the study, published in Frontiers in Microbiology, laid out that exploring prehistoric bacteria samples preserved in ice caves might also hold the key to combating the rise of antibiotic resistance in the future. “[The strain] can also inhibit the growth of several major antibiotic-resistant ‘superbugs’ and showed important enzymatic activities with important biotechnological potential,” said co-author Cristina Purcarea, a senior scientist at the Institute of Biology Bucharest at the Romanian Academy, in a press statement. Antibiotic Resistance Evolution in Ancient Bacteria Bacteria have developed ways to survive exposure to naturally occurring antibiotics throughout their evolutionary history and preserve these skills in their DNA, which can...
