Unique microbes found in extreme environmentWashington DC (SPX) Jun 12, 2012 Researchers who were looking for organisms that eke out a living in some of the most inhospitable soils on Earth have found a hardy few. A new DNA analysis of rocky soils in the martian-like landscape on some volcanoes in South America has revealed a handful of bacteria, fungi, and other rudimentary organisms, called archaea, which seem to have a different way of converting energy than their cousins elsewhere in the world. "We haven't formally identified or characterized the species," said Ryan Ly ... read more |
