Microorganisms found in Kamchatka help treat tumors

At Kamchatka of Russia, scientists are studying thermophilic bacteria that can be used to treat tumors.

Archaea or archaea are a group of protozoan microorganisms of life on Earth, along with bacteria and eukaryotes (people, animals, plants, fungi, etc.). They live in extreme conditions - at high temperatures up to 120 degrees Celsius, under high salinity, high pressure conditions, in acidic and alkaline environments.

According to the evaluation of scientists, the study of Kamchatka bacterium is a major contribution to both basic science and applied science. High heat resistance of Archaean enzymes allows them to be used in technological processes - in the food, pharmaceutical and oil industry.

Archaeal enzymes found in Kamchatka have the ability to oxidize carbon monoxide and form hydrogen, which is applied in heavy industry. This year, scientists will investigate the possibility of certain Archaea Uzon strains to disintegrate cellulose and wood, straw, etc. This technology can be researched and used in waste treatment.

Can talk a lot about the benefits of antimicrobials in life. They have been used in a variety of industrial technologies. With the help of colony, biofuels can be obtained (ethanol, methane, hydrogen); or used in the process of processing mineral materials and extracting metals from ore; food industry (obtained syrup, gelatin analog substance, stabilizer, antioxidant, antibiotic, juice cleaner); in oil production (exploration of mineral deposits, processing of oil products); in the treatment of greenhouse gases.

Even successful use of antimicrobials in the pharmaceutical industry, including the production of anticancer drugs. According to experts, science is currently at the beginning of a long process to invent antifungal drugs based on archaea.
