Tal­mu­dic Ques­tion #117

by Daniel Haeusser

Why do you sup­pose the lipopolysac­cha­ride of gram-neg­a­tive bac­te­ria (LPS or en­do­toxin) has been sin­gled out to be so toxic? Why do harm­less com­men­sals keep car­ry­ing LPS?

    by Elio — Bi­ol­ogy is re­plete with de­f­i­n­i­tions that have ex­cep­tions. A mi­crobe (from the Greek roots mikros and bios for small life) is typ­i­cally de­fined as a mi­cro­scopic liv­ing or­gan­ism in­vis­i­ble to the naked eye. It is clearly in the na­ture of liv­ing things to stretch our de­f­i­n­i­tions, bend the rules. There are bac­te­ria (surely mi­crobes) that...
