In Yellowstone, found the microbe “from another planet”, according to American biologists.
Microorganism have attracted the attention of scientists that prefer to eat food resources are low in calories.
Experts from the University of Arizona in Tempe, USA, discovered in the hot springs of Yellowstone a unique microorganism, which is able to multiply only in the presence of food, low calorie. In the case of abundance of food resources with a high content of calories the body “refuses” to produce offspring. This discovery has attracted interest in the scientific community because biology is a natural process involving microorganisms that is more nutrients, while nutrient-poor resources do not matter.
Bacteria of the species Acidianus show the behavior that scientists have compared with the mining business — the rich Deposit has no value if mining is more expensive than you can get money for it. Another feature of the microbe is its ability to live in extreme conditions — in addition to the huge amounts of heat and radiation, microorganisms live almost pure acid.
In the experiment, the bacteria prefer from hydrogen and sulfur, hydrogen and iron, iron and sulfur are a poor source of energy. The growth on the most nutrient-rich substrate was negligible.
