A group of domestic researchers found on the ice Lake Vostok in Antarctica is a completely new species of bacteria. Of course, new types of microorganisms are opening up quite often, however, Russian experts apparently managed to find wow.
The fact that these bacteria are similar to terrestrial unicellular only eighty-six percent. Concerning the rest of their deoxyribonucleic acid, then she put scientists to a standstill. This gave the authors of the find reason to believe that these microorganisms may have an alien origin.
Our compatriots have just begun to explore a new species unicellular, and so far the bacterium has not even been named, but only assigned her the code “w123-10”. Estimated Depth extraterrestrial microorganisms suggests that they are here for about five millennia. Found bacteria completely viable and feel great at minus temperature sixty degrees centigrade.
According to scientists, if speculation about an alien the origin of the bacteria will be confirmed, then this may flip the idea of humanity about life forms that can inhabit and evolve beyond the earth.

Recall that Lake Vostok, located in the area of the same name Russian research station, is the largest Antarctic ice lake. Its length is two hundred fifty kilometers, a width of fifty kilometers, and an area of about sixteen thousand kilometers. The volume of the reservoir is estimated at six thousand three hundred cubic kilometers.
It is noteworthy that in 2004, Russian scientists discovered here is another bacterium unknown at that time. Her depth occurrence was more than three and a half kilometers. However, no doubt about the terrestrial origin of that microorganism there were no specialists.
