Could microorganisms in permafrost hold the secret of immortality? What does this mean? / Anatoli Brouchkov, Peter J. Williams.
Title: | Could microorganisms in permafrost hold the secret of immortality? What does this mean? / Anatoli Brouchkov, Peter J. Williams. |
Author(s): | Brouchkov, Anatoli. Williams, Peter J. |
Date: | 2001. |
Publisher: | Ottawa, Canada: Conference Secretariat |
In: | Contaminants in Freezing Ground : Collected Proceedings of 2nd International Conference, 2-5 July 2000, Cambridge, UK. Parts I-III. (2001.), |
Abstract: | Reviews information on living organisms in permafrost, including those apparently surviving for millions of years. Availability of water poses problems; discusses adaptations dealing with this. Live micro-organisms in permafrost appear to be able to repair cell structures in spite of their length of life. It is possible for very old viable bacteria to reproduce, which may have application for bioremediation of soil. |
