In the future humans can breathe underwater

When combining human DNA with marine algae, scientists from Dalhousie University, Halifax (Canada) discovered that humanity could one day breathe in water like fish.

Through the study of salamanders, scientists found that seaweed, which produces oxygen when on the sea floor, can be intimately and inseparably combined with the salamanders' eggs. Based on this finding, scientists hope to step by step further study to someday apply this mechanism to the human body.

If the test is successful, in the future humans can dive underwater without having to climb to the surface to get oxygen, like the Harry Potter character in the science fiction film ' Harry Potter and the Fireball .'

According to Dr. Ryan Kerney, in charge of the research team: " When in salamanders, seaweeds can provide oxygen to the salamander embryos. In contrast, marine algae will take nutrients from the waste of the embryo. In the embryo of the salamand contains a lot of nitrogen, which is essential for marine algae, we also discovered the seaweed's DNA in the gas of the mature salamander, and this phenomenon can be genetic . "

However, to carry out this great leap forward, the scientific community needs to conduct many experiments. Moreover, people have many similarities with vertebrates such as salamanders. Therefore, this goal is very likely to turn into reality.

The finding for the first time demonstrated symbiosis that exists between plants and vertebrates.
