Kostas KonstantinidisA new study found that the severity of anthrax may be related to how many copies of plasmids a strain carries. Plasmids are responsible for producing the toxin. Konstantinos "Kostas" Konstantinidis, who has a joint appointment in the School of Biological Sciences and School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, says that the research could also provide clues about the severity of other organisms.
