The planet is characterized by the sole in the solar system which embraces life on its surface in its different forms and models, and scientists have not yet found a conclusive evidence of life on another planet of the universe.
In a scientific surprise, a recent study reveals that the manifestations of life are not limited only to the surface of the earth, but extend to the deep depths which were not considered before them.
This sequel Deep study – which was published in the journal “Science Advances” – for a period of 8 years, revealing an environmental system diversified in an incredible way of which many forms of microorganisms flourish, to depths of up to 4375 meters under the earth’s crust, a level that scientists have never seen living organisms before.
Stay at the forefront of life
Unlike ecosystems rich in energy on the surface, life in deep biomas depends on completely different mechanisms for survival and survival. radiological activity.
In addition, some microbes of these hard environments are divided at a very slow pace which only reaches once every thousand years, which reflects their higher adaptation with the scarcity of food resources.
Emile Rove, an Emile Rove, says press release An official was published by the American University of Chicago, who conducted the study: “It is generally assumed that the more it is covered by the surface of the earth, less the energy available and the number of cells can survive, while that more of the existing energy allows the generation and preservation of more diversity as is the case in tropical forests or coral reefs, where there is a lot of sun and heat.
The study showed a sudden scheme with an increase in the diversity of microbes in deep marine environments, in particular among living organisms belonging to the scope of obstacles or what is known as “primitive”, which are Unique cell organisms that lack a membranous cell nucleus and organs, which makes them classified as a mediator.
New hypothesis
This discovery contradicts the dominant hypothesis according to which deep environments are not able to support a great vital diversity, because it indicates that there is an interconnection between life on the surface and in the soil, in addition to these marine environments deep and deep wild environments are affected by various development factors, which lead to the formation of microbial companies, have distinct properties in each.
“It is logical that living organisms adapt to the reduction of energy consumption and life at least absolute, and to improve each part of their metabolic operations to be effective in energy consumption as much as possible , and we can learn from here too how to achieve the highest levels of efficiency when we work under Smith resources is not existing.
The study indicates that this discovery can change the vision of the scientists of operations being explorated and research on the surface of March or other celestial bodies which would have liquid water at a given moment in its history.
According to ROF, rocky environmental systems can be a depth of 3 km below the surface very similar to those on the ground.
“The available energy will be very low and the rate of proliferation of organisms will be very slow,” he added.
In the end, understanding a deep life on earth can be a model that helps to discover if there is life on Mars and if it is still present today.
