We are aware that bacteria and microbes are not the first things that come to mind when it comes to living things. But to science, the discovery of a new animal species is no different from the discovery of a new bacterial species, because each new species, signifies a new era in science.

Researchers investigating ancient lava caves in the Hawaiian Islands have found many they discovered a new type of bacteria and microbes. These kinds of bacteria and microbes, according to research formed 800 years ago. Let’s look at the details.

More than 70 new species of microbes and bacteria discovered

Monsters from lava caves in the Hawaiian Islands 70 of them RNA analyzes were compared to microbes and bacteria currently in the dictionary and a no response found. Thus, 70 new microbe species were discovered.

According to the data, some of these microbes were formed 65, about 800 years ago. they didn’t get any sunlight. Some germs and bacteria also contain toxic minerals and gases. The authors of the study, “This suggests caves and fumaroles harbor a diverse untapped ecosystem” say.

After plants, microbes occupy most of our planet’s biomass and almost all of the Earth’s deep subsurface. makes up all of its biomass. But because these organisms are so small and live in extreme environments, scientists have historically often ignored them.

In recent years, underground microbes, They can be found in environments very similar to those on Mars. is starting to attract more attention, but there is still a long way to go in this area. One of the newly discovered microbes, Chloroflexi, uses light energy to survive in relatively dark conditions in the ecosystem. able to photosynthesize (at least in mind). But as said, there is still a long way to go.
