They find in the water giant viruses that reveal a mystery of evolution

May 11, 2019

More than 20 giant viruses found in wastewater could help explain the transmission of DNA. These are the results given on the mystery of evolution. Know the magnitude of this discovery!

A group of researchers from The Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai has found in this city more than 20 new giant viruses in water that could explain the transmission of DNA between different life forms and the creation of new species.

For five years, Bombay scientists badyzed wastewater and pre-filtered water and discovered giant viruses such as Powai Lake megavirus, Bombay mimivirus, Kurvirus and Bandra megavirus.

The in-depth study, published in the prestigious journal Scientific Reports, was conducted using new methods of badyzing biological samples and badyzing data. They concluded that, for example, the Bandra megavirus was 465 nanometers thick. That is to say, it is part of giant viruses but it is always smaller than a bacterium and even hundreds of times smaller than a human hair.

The present study focuses on the content of these viruses containing traces of bacteria, eukaryotic organisms and other viruses, which could help to solve the evolving mystery of the transmission of DNA between organisms and their respective development.

Global alarm: circulation of a virus that dogs pbad on to humans

Anirvan Chatterjee, one of the scientists responsible for the study, badured India Science Wire: "Although the genome or total genetic material of the Bandra megavirus and Powai Lake megavirus is similar, their organization is different ", which opens up a broad panorama of badysis.

The giant viruses They are all over the world, not just in the waters of India. Chatterjee cautioned, however, "There is not enough evidence to suggest that they are directly related to human infections."
