Hintergrund Lesedauer ca. 12 Minuten Drucken Teilen Spiegelbakterien: Die ultimativen Killerkeime Bakterien aus spiegelverkehrten Biomolekülen konstruieren? Wissenschaftler sind sich einig: Das darf niemals geschehen. Denn es könnte eine globale Katastrophe auslösen. In absehbarer Zukunft könnte es möglich sein, stereochemisch gespiegelte Varianten von Bakterien herzustellen, so genannte Spiegelbakterien (Illustration). Sie wären vermutlich die tödlichsten Mikroben, die es je gegeben hat.
