Move over quokkas—Rottnest's salt lake bacteria could be the island's next big claim to fame
Scientists at Murdoch University have read the full genetic code of bacteria from the salt lakes of Wadjemup (Rottnest Island), giving them their clearest picture yet of how these tiny organisms could be used to make biodegradable plastic.
