Microbes
Microbes that have not ever seen has been discovered in the wreckage of the Titanic.
 
Titanicae Halomonas Bacteria found in the structure of rust or keroposan shaped like icicles formed on the corroded metal. Various bacteria and fungi that grow in the structure-which was first discovered in Titanic-feeding is actually a rusty metal.
 

These findings are written in the publication International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology.

Samples of the rusty structure of the Titanic was collected by the robot divers Mir 2 in 1991.


The joint-team of researchers from Dalhousie University and the Ontario Science Centre in Canada and the University of Seville in Spain, then separate the bacteria Halomonas titanicae of the sample.


They arrange the DNA sequences of these microbes prior to summarize as a new member of the genus Halomonas are like salt.


These bacteria are a concern because it might be the answer to the mechanism of the formation of rust and also in the structure of recycling carried out by these microbes in the metal structure beneath the sea.


It is-like-written research team has relevance to the protection of oil and gas pipelines under the sea, as well as ships and oil field disposal at sea.
