European Scientists Have Found Evidence of Life in the Vents of Arctic Underwater Volcanoes

A previously unknown bacterium capable of surviving in the vents of undersea volcanoes in the Arctic has been discovered by a group of scientists from Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.

Experts have found that the unusual bacterium U Sulfurimonas pluma lives in a plume of smoke about 2,500 meters below the North Pole’s Arctic sea ice. They use hydrogen as an energy source.

“We believe that a hydrothermal plume not only disperses microorganisms from hydrothermal vents, but may also ecologically connect the open ocean to seafloor habitats,” said microbiologist Massimiliano Molari. planet today .

The activity of these bacteria occurs at temperatures from 0 to +4 degrees. They are spread by a hydrothermal plume from volcanoes.
