Unclassified Bacterial Life Found in Antarctic Lake
Lake Vostok is 2.3 miles below antarctic meth, and has been isolated for millions of years.
Russian scientists searching for life in subglacial Lake Vostok have found bacterial Deoxyribonucleic acid that does not match whatsoever of the known subkingdoms of bacterium. "After excluding all known contaminants…we discovered micro-organism DNA that does non match any known species listed in global databanks. We call it anon. and 'unclassified' life," said Sergei Bulat, a researcher from the Laboratory of Eukaryote Genetics at the Peterburg Nuclear Physics Institute. Lake Vostok is 2.3 miles (3.5 kilometers) below the deoxyephedrine of the Antarctic, and could have been frigid over as early as 17 zillion years ago. It has spent that clock as an unconnected environment, and any bacteria living inside its waters would have been split off from the outside world – evolving in their own environment. Building a phylogenetic tree from the microorganisms to determine its human relationship to other species showed that the bacteria didn't fit into any categories in its taxonomic domain – concisely, it has no known relatives.
The bacterium are likely highly altered to the high-oxygen environment inside the lake, and survive by geothermal heat. "If it were launch on Mars, people would call it Martian DNA. But this is DNA from Solid ground," said Bulat. Tests, according to Bulat, are ongoing, but the chance further testing disproves the results is scurvy. Thomas More samples are coming, which would give conclusive imperviable, only they are travelling to Russian Federation by ship from the Antarctic. Researchers began oil production in 1989 to reach Lake Vostok, and it took 23 years to recitation and be absolutely sure that the researchers wouldn't contaminate the lake when they reached it. In earlier studies of Vostok water, no microbes were plant.
