The Origins of Change: Mutations

Corexit + Bacteria = Mutated Viruses"

Very few people really understand what a virus is or how it evolves. In the same respect, most don’t comprehend what bacteria are… nor do they grasp what a cellular mutation is.

BACTERIA

Bacteria are a large group of single cell microorganisms that grow to a fixed size and then reproduce through a form of asexual reproduction. Under optimal conditions, bacteria can grow and divide rapidly and some bacterial populations can double as quickly as every 9.8 minutes.

Most bacteria have a single circular chromosome and inherit identical copies of their parent's genes (they clone themselves).

However, all bacteria can evolve through changes made to their genetic material DNA caused by mutations. Mutations come from errors made during the replication of DNA or from exposure to mutagens (mutating agents), such as certain chemicals.

Despite their apparent simplicity, bacteria can also form complex associations with other organisms. If bacteria form a parasitic association, they are classed as pathogens. Pathogenic bacteria are a major cause of human death and disease.

Not all bacteria are bad as some are actually good for humans. Of the 400+ types of bacteria that live in the human digestive system, many are considered good bacteria - such as acidophilus - because they help the digestive system to do its job.

VIRUS

The modern word virus comes from the same Latin word which refers to poison and other noxious substances. Essentially, a virus is a poison and an imported toxic body. The origins of viruses are always conceived at a cellular level during the onset of their existence.

BACTERIOPHAGES

In the early 20th century, an English bacteriologist named Frederick Twort discovered a group of certain viruses that infect bacteria. These particular viral infected bacteria are now called bacteriophages or, simply, phages.

Bacteriophages are viruses that change the DNA of bacteria. Many types of bacteriophages exist. Some simply infect the host bacteria while others insert into and alter the bacterial chromosome.

Bacteriophages are a common and diverse group of viruses and are the most abundant form of biological entity in aquatic environments — there are up to ten times more of these viruses in the oceans than there are bacteria, reaching levels of 250,000,000 bacteriophages per milliliter of seawater. These viruses infect specific bacteria by binding to surface receptor molecules and then entering the cell. Within a short amount of time, in some cases just minutes, bacterial polymerase starts translating viral mRNA into protein. These proteins go on to become either new virions within the cell, helper proteins, which help assembly of new virions, or proteins involved in cell lysis. Viral enzymes aid in the breakdown of the cell membrane, and, in the case of the T4 phage, in just over twenty minutes after injection over three hundred phages could be released. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus


THE ORIGIN OF CHANGE: MUTATED BACTERIAL VIRUSES

The word mutagen comes from Latin meaning origin of change. A mutagen is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material of an organism. Because of this genetic change, it increases the frequency of mutations above the typical level.

Mutations are changes in the DNA or RNA sequence of a virus. It can occur at both a Gene level – called a Gene Mutation - and at a Chromosome level – called a Chromosome Mutation. This process of change is called Mutagenesis.

Let me try to explain this in modern simple terms.

Whenever any type of organism is mutated, you could accurately call it a mutant life form. For example: If that life form was a young turtle from Japan, then the mutated organism might be called a teenage mutant Ninja turtle.

A mutated organism also includes people since we are considered complex organisms. Spiderman was mutated by a spider bite. The character Dare Devil had an amazing sense of hearing when he was mutated by a chemical.

The point is that a mutation can’t occur by itself because it needs something from outside the organism to change the genetics.

Everything that causes a mutation is called a Mutating Agent or a Mutagen. There are three basic types of mutagens:

1) Chemical Mutagens – such as pesticides, benzene, methane, and many others.
2) Physics Mutagens – such as an ultraviolet ray or radioactivity.
3) Bio Mutagens – which are bacteria and viruses.

Chemical agents that cause DNA mutation
Chemical mutation is caused by binding and chemical interaction of a chemical substance to the DNA. This binding may cause damage to DNA or may simply cause the genetic code to be misread. Examples of chemical carcinogens include… vinyl chloride (found in the plastics industry).

Biological agents that cause DNA mutation
There are several biological agents that can cause DNA mutation. This may include viruses and bacteria. Viruses may use a number of different complex mechanisms to cause a cell to become cancerous. Some of the viruses donate their DNA materials to the host cell and cause alteration in the genetic code.

Some bacteriophages can enter the host cell, but instead of immediately making new viral material the bacteriophages DNA will integrate into the chromosome of the bacteria. This state is called lysogeny and the virus is essentially silent during this period.

However,

If the bacterial cell containing the integrated viral DNA is perturbed, such as by UV (ultraviolet) light, ionizing radiation, or chemical agents that cause mutation, the virus can become activated. Once activated, the virus replicates, matures, and is released.

The above clearly outlines what happens when certain chemical compounds, such as those found in Corexit, are introduced to bacteria or viral bacteriophages. The result is a mutated virus that quickly duplicates itself, develops into maturity, and then discharges itself into the environment. A water environment discharge will become airborne due to high temperatures or as a result of storms.

CHEMICAL MUTAGENS

The mutagenic achievement of certain chemical agents was first discovered in the former USSR. In 1946, the mutagenic properties of formaldehyde and mustard gas were discovered. Since then, many hundreds of chemical mutagens have been established.

It’s only in microorganisms (such as bacteria and viruses) that some chemical mutagens can drastically increase the mutation rate of certain genes over the mutation rate of the other genes. Chemical mutagens are responsible for a greater number of mutations than are physical mutagens.

Chemical mutagens have been proven to increase the rate of genetic and chromosomal abnormalities by as much as 100 times higher than the typical rate for spontaneous mutations. Simply said, the introduction of chemical agents “super-charges” the speed of mutation in a host organism.

It is necessary to study the possible mutagenic action of new drugs, pesticides, and industrial chemicals and to prohibit the production of substances that prove to be mutagenic.
