Tiny, single-celled bacteria comprise the majority of life
this planet, but we found only about five percent of the
diversity. We know even less bacteria thrive in deep-sea hydrothermal vents
. Bacteria
at hydrothermal vents inhabit almost everything: rocks, sea bed,
even inside animals such as mussels. All live under
High pressure and temperature change. Perhaps the most amazing
and hard thermophilic bacteria in the vents termofily. Temperature
much above 662F (350C) is not uncommon in the vents. Peace
record for life increasing at high temperatures 235F
(113C), record type thermophilic known as
hyperthermophile. These themophiles better grow above 176F
(80C). Many termofily have a simple diet based exclusively on metals, gases
and minerals that make up the hydrothermal ventilation. For example,
Knorr >> we << growing termofily collected from vent sites in the Indian Ocean, which require only >> << sulfur, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Termofily we study today modern
old termofily relatives. Think about what organisms could have lived more
3. 5000000000 years ago. First Earth was hot
active volcanic planet. Slowly over the years, it cooled and formed
sea and land we know today. There are many theories
, offering termofily - and life - may have originated in deep
holes in early Earth history. But Earth is not the only place in our solar system where life
, may develop and exist. All life as we know, that need water,
source of energy and carbon source. And Mars, and one of the satellites of Jupiter
Europe could be these conditions, and thus make good targets
search for past and present life. Can the study of deep holes termofily help us in our >> << search of evidence of past and present life on other planets? Scientists
, think so. Tips on the landscape of Mars believe that water once flowed there. In addition, Mars
more ice cap and there may be liquid water deep in the bowels of the planet.
There is also geological evidence that Mars was once a volcano, many
more and more powerful than the volcanoes we know on Earth. Astrobiolohy
think that any signs of life found on other planets will be bacteria like
life beneath the surface of the planet or the Moon and use of chemical energy for their life needs
Termofily also useful for us on a daily basis. Termofily make protein
molecules, called enzymes, which speed up chemical reactions. Enzymes from >> << termofily useful in situations of high temperature. Enzymes are added to many detergents
. because they can eat away oily stains on clothing
in hot water. Genetic
, research is another area where termofily used. Thermophilic enzyme
Taq DNA polymerase, an enzyme that makes many copies
DNA pieces, was first obtained from the thermophilic
Thermus adiaysiz from
Yellowstone National Park. This creates a thermophilic yellow-mustard color
many hot springs around the Lower Geyser Yellowstones
pool. Biotech companies are also selling similar enzymes from deep-sea hydrothermal
termofily ventilation. These enzymes are called
Pfu polymerase
and helped us to detect genetic diseases, to find criminals who may have left
hair and blood at the crime scene and sequence the whole human genome. In this expedition we use enzymes to try to cheap strattera identify bacteria >> << we collect from hydrothermal vents. As investigators using genetic methods >> << to find the criminals, we expect some of the genetic >> << DNA that determines our body, and then make many copies
gene. Using this process, we find many new type
bacteria in the deep hole that we have never seen before. His
Strange to think that we can learn from them. .
