The bacteria are heat and cold resistant.''The bacteria live in nature, usually in stones,'explained inventor Hendrik Marius Jonkers from Delft University of Technology.'

Space elevator in a tower 12 miles high could one day give astronauts a leg-up into the cosmos
Canadian space firm Thoth has outlined plans for an elevator to space, potentially saving huge amounts of fuel and money that form part of the vast cost of launching rockets into orbit.
The company has been granted a US patent to build a freestanding tower reaching 12 miles (20 km) above the planet's surface.
The space tower would be more than 20 times the height of Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.
'As well as tourism, the elevator could also be used for wind energy generation and communications. The mastermind behind the project is inventor Dr Brendan Quine.
'Astronauts would ascent to 12 miles (20km) by electrical elevator.''From the top of the tower, space planes will launch in a single stage to orbit,
returning to the top of the tower for refuelling and reflight.''While other designs for space elevators have involved complex designs using graphene or carbon nanotubes,
the Thoth design reportedly uses inflatable sections and flywheels to provide dynamic stability. This is not the first time a space elevator has been proposed,
with many engineers considering it as a possibility since it was suggested first by Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky in 1895.
Engineer Peter Debney last year proposed a theory that borrows the methods by which cathedrals control their centre of gravity-by tapering at the top
-and applied it to the concept of an elevator that takes humans into space. When building any tall structure-from gothic cathedrals to skyscrapers
and eventually a space elevator-the sturdiness and balance comes from its centre of gravity. By creating strong, far-reaching foundations deep into the Earth,
