3-4 Times Square GREAT NORTH MUSEUM Just opened in May, this outstanding space offers eclectic natural history and archaeology displays, from ancient mummies to live animals (busy leaf-cutting ants are curiously mesmerizing). Byline: ANI London, March 30 (ANI): In a new research, scientists have found that leaf-cutting ants that carry colonies of anti fungal bacteria on their bodies, contain a chemical which could help speed the quest to develop better antibiotics and biofuels.
