[DIYbio] Antarctica: New Bacterium in subglacial lake

Haven't seen this posted before... 


Russian researvchers found a new bacterium in subglacial Lake Vostok in Antarctica. The lake has been covered with ice at least a million years.

<86% homology to the closest relative bacterium. 




Has anyone an idea where to get that bug? Maybe fun to learn new things about an entire new bacterium. 

But, just maybe, it can be dangerous... Although it hasn't seen mammals for millions of years, it won't have evolved to harm us, I guess...
