The bizarre bacterial world

Statistics of the Institute of Aquatic Life of America published a huge number of bacteria, 10 ^ 30 new species have not yet been named.

Deep down in the ocean is the common home of countless species of bacteria. Most of them cannot see with the naked eye. However, there are also large species of shrimp noodles, which form large-scale microbial mats of Greek at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

The total number of bacteria detected is equivalent to 240 billion African elephants (each African elephant weighs 3-5 tons).

They found many species shaped like fiction films. Small creatures can be found everywhere, from craters on the ocean floor at temperatures of 150 degrees Celsius or in rocky slopes at a depth of 1.6 km below the ocean floor.

What's interesting is that they need a lot of names to put, so there are lots of difficult-to-read names like loriciferans , polychaetes , copepods .

Sometimes, fishermen cannot pick up fishing nets because there are more bacteria than shrimp on their nets. Scientists calculate that 1m ² bacteria have a mass of about 1 kg.

Here are some pictures of exotic bacteria:

Scientists discovered a Loriceferan luminescent bacterium that lives below 4 km below the sea surface in southern Cote Ivoire, Africa.

A new species of bacteria, tubular, is the food of clown fish.

Bacteria called Lyngbya , a green algae consisting of many cells linked together.

Prorocentrum is a peculiar yellow algae with two large valves, often distinguishing between the same species by their pores.

Acantharian is one of four large amoeba species that live in open waters. Constructed from single strongiti sulfate crystals, they are fragile and fragile. This substance is easily soluble in water when they die.
