Observatory announced "Deep Carbon" Tuesday discovered the bacterium named "Underground Galapagos" What he said that many of them have millions of years, reported CNN.
"This achievement culminated in the efforts of about 1,000 scientists who opened our eyes to fantastic horizons and new perspectives on a life we had never heard of," said Robert Hazen. Executive Director of the Observatory. "
The biomass of the exploratory ecosystem is estimated at between 15 and 23 billion metric tons (16.6 to 25.4 billion tonnes), hundreds of times larger than human life, and represents 2 to 2, 3 billion cubic kilometers, twice the surface of the oceans.
Scientists used advanced technology to drill about 2.5 kilometers at the bottom of the sea and took samples of "Microbes from mines and continental wells deeper than five kilometers".
The new results could change from the prevailing ideas about life on Earth and could allow similar discoveries on other planets, the report said.
There are millions of species of distinct bacteria, in addition to germs, where there is no specific nucleus of the membrane, microbial microorganisms or organisms with cells containing a nucleus and membrane walls living underground.
The number of these organisms far exceeds what is above the surface of the earth, where it is thought that about 70% of the planet's bacteria live below the surface?
The report from the observatory says "Abyssal microbes are often very different from their surface cousins, with life cycles at times scales close to geology, they do not receive energy in some cases only rocks. "
Mitch Soujin, co-chair of the observatory, said, "Underwater exploration is similar to the exploration of the Amazon rainforest. There is life everywhere and everywhere an incredible amount of water. unexpected and unusual objects ".
The abundance of underground life has opened the door to many questions such as: How did this abundant life begin, how do you live and do you multiply in difficult conditions?
The report says: "Did life begin deep in the earth (either in the interior of the earth's crust, near hydrothermal vents, or in subduction zones), and then in the sea? is directed to the sun? "
"Or did life begin in a small, hot pool and migrate down, how do microorganisms proliferate underground or live millions of years"?
And "How does the absence of nutrients, temperature and extreme pressures affect microbial distribution and subsoil diversity"?

The Deep Carbon Observatory announced Tuesday the discovery of a bacterium called "Galapagos Underground", many of which date back millions of years, reported CNN.
"This achievement has resulted in the efforts of about 1,000 scientists who have opened our eyes to magnificent horizons and new perspectives on a life we have never heard of," said Robert Hazen, Director. executive of the observatory.
The biomass of the exploratory ecosystem is estimated at between 15 and 23 billion metric tons (16.6 to 25.4 billion tonnes), hundreds of times larger than human life, and represents 2 to 2, 3 billion cubic kilometers, twice the surface of the oceans.
Scientists used state-of-the-art technology to dig about 2.5 km of seabed and took samples of "microbes from mines and continental wells more than five km deep".
The new results could change from the prevailing ideas about life on Earth and could allow similar discoveries on other planets, the report said.

"Abyssal microbes are often very different from their surface cousins, with life cycles at timescales close to geology, in some cases they do not get the energy from the rocks," says the report. from the observatory.
"Exploring the underground depths, it's like exploring the Amazon rainforest, there's life everywhere and an amazing abundance of unexpected and unusual organisms," said Mitch Suejin, co-chair of the observatory .
The abundance of underground life has opened the door to many questions such as: How did this abundant life begin, how do you live and do you multiply in difficult conditions?
"Did life begin deep in the earth (either inside the Earth's crust, near hydrothermal vents or in subduction zones) and then to the sun?", States the report. .
"Or did life begin in a small, shallow hot pond that has migrated down, how do microorganisms multiply underground or do they live millions of years?"
And "How does the absence of nutrients, temperature and extreme pressures affect microbial distribution and diversity in the soil"?
