germ uses arsenic

NASA found a microbe that uses arsenic. It has DNA that is different than other earth organisms. Hey, case in point it was found in California in lake mono. This is a find without price. For most germs, arsenic is poison. However, this one instead of using phosphorus in its DNA - it uses arsenic.
