Science rejects the bacteria eating arsenic

Science has published two new reports with the complete argument contrary to the study that arsenic-eating bacteria exist on the earth.

In a concussion finding published in the prestigious Science magazine in 2010, strange bacteria in Lake Mono, eastern California (USA), are believed to live on an unbelievable 'food' form. credit.

Lake Mono, where bacteria remain controversial

The report immediately resonates not only in the scientific world but also makes people very impressed, with many believing that there are still different lives in the world, let alone in distant planets.

Recently, it is also the Science science journal that has published a complete rejection of the study. Accordingly, the evidence is clear that bacteria cannot absorb arsenic to survive.

In response to the first study with the team leader, Felisa Wolfe-Simon of NASA's Institute of Physical Biology, another group, led by Rosemary Redfield of the University of British Columbia (Canada), affirmed arsenic in the lake. Mono does not contribute to bacterial growth.

Another report, conducted by Swiss experts, shows that the bacterium has strong resistance to the toxic effects of arsenic, but they still depend on phosphorus to grow, like all births. other things.

Experts concluded that in the initial experiment, the NASA team did not note that traces of phosphorus infection could have helped the bacteria grow.

Accordingly, bacteria at Lake Mono did not break the long-standing rule of life, contrary to the report of expert Wolfe-Simon.
