eldavojohn writes "The first genome transplant from one bacteria to another, thereby transforming the species. From M. mycoides to M. capricolum, the research shows that it is entirely possible to achieve a success rate of 1 in 150,000 genome transplants in bacteria. While this may seem an exercise in futility, this is actually a major step towards synthetic life which would give us the possibility to tailor bacteria to our needs — whether they be medical, fuel production or terraforming another planet."
