Abacwaningi baseTomsk State University (TSU) babe ngabokuqala emhlabeni ukuhlukanisa ibhaktheriya emanzini ajulile angaphansi komhlaba okungenzeka ukuthi ikhona ku-Mars.
Sikhuluma nge-organism Desulforudis audaxviator: elihunyushwe lisuka kusiLatini, leli gama lisho "umhambi onesibindi." Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi sekuyiminyaka engaphezu kwengu-10 ososayensi abavela emazweni ahlukene “bazingela” leli gciwane.
I-organism ebizwa ngokuthi iyakwazi ukuthola amandla ngaphansi kwezimo zokungabikho okuphelele kokukhanya nomoya-mpilo. I-bacterium yatholakala emanzini angaphansi komhlaba esiphethwini esishisayo esisesifundeni saseVerkhneketsky esifundeni saseTomsk.
“Ukuthatha amasampula kwenziwa ekujuleni okungamakhilomitha angu-1,5 kuya ku-3, lapho kungekho ukukhanya noma umoya-mpilo. Esikhathini esingengakanani esidlule, kwakukholelwa ukuthi ukuphila ngaphansi kwalezi zimo kwakungenakwenzeka, ngoba ngaphandle kokukhanya akukho photosynthesis, engaphansi kwawo wonke amaketanga okudla. Kodwa kwavela ukuthi lokhu kucatshangelwa kwakungalungile, ”kusho isitatimende se-TSU.
Ucwaningo luye lwabonisa ukuthi i-bacterium ihlukana kanye njalo emahoreni angama-28, okungukuthi, cishe nsuku zonke. Cishe i-omnivorous: umzimba uyakwazi ukudla ushukela, utshwala nokunye okuningi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwavela ukuthi i-oksijeni, ekuqaleni eyayibhekwa njengento ebhubhisa i-microbe engaphansi komhlaba, ayiwubulali.
Ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nocwaningo lungatholakala lapha.
