Russia finds 'new bacteria' in Antarctic lake

Quote
The samples obtained from the underground lake in May 2012 contained a bacteria which bore no resemblance to existing types, said Sergei Bulat of the genetics laboratory at the Saint Petersburg Institute of Nuclear Physics.

"After putting aside all possible elements of contamination, DNA was found that did not coincide with any of the well-known types in the global database," he said.

"We are calling this life form unclassified and unidentified," he added.

Zorgon, you trying to scare me to death?  I saw your post and thought something happened from their drilling.  I wonder how much information we will get out of this as to what may have been or still is down there?  This is going to be interesting if they release any worthwhile information.
From the past into the future any way I can...Educating...informing....guiding.

Well, here is some information from an additional source.  A couple of videos are included in the link.

Stifling of info begins....


Russia admits no new life form found in Antarctic lake

Quote
Sergei Bulat of the genetics laboratory at the Saint Petersburg Institute of Nuclear Physics had said Thursday that samples obtained from the underground Lake Vostok in May 2012 contained a bacteria bearing no resemblance to existing types.

But the head of the genetics laboratory at the same institute said on Saturday that the strange life forms were in fact nothing but contaminants.

"We found certain specimen, although not many. All of them were contaminants" that were brought there by the lab during research, Vladimir Korolyov told the Interfax news agency.

"That is why we cannot say that previously-unknown life was found," he said.

I'm betting that there is another reason why they cannot say it.  How do you go from this statement:

"After putting aside all possible elements of contamination, DNA was found that did not coincide with any of the well-known types in the global database,"

To trying to pass it off as contaminants...sounds like a coverup to me.

no new viruses or bacteria found..just same old -  same old



'New DNA' found in ice not new after all

Russian scientists believed they had found a new lifeform in Antarctica, but their samples may have been contaminated.


The new life found in a subglacial lake in Antarctica was just contaminants, Agence-France Presse (AFP) reported Saturday.

Russian scientists said March 7 that they might have found a new form of life that had been entombed in a lake deep under Antarctica for millions of years.

But Saturday AFP reported that the Russian scientists retracted the statement.

"We found certain specimen, although not many. All of them were contaminants" that were brought there by the lab during research, Vladimir Korolyov told the Interfax news agency.

The scientists drilled for more than a decade in Antarctica, eventually taking samples from a lake that hadn’t been touched for at least 14 million years. The scientists believed the bacteria they found was unlike any known species on Earth, but now that claim is looking doubtful.

The lake, Lake Vostok, is the largest subglacial lake in Antarctica, AFP reported. AFP said scientists have yearned to explore it for years, but first had to drill through more than two miles of ice.

When Russia started drilling, there were concerns about kerosene and antifreeze from the borehole contaminating the lake and any samples taken from it. The scientists initially said the DNA found in the samples did not match bacteria from the drilling fluid or any other source that could have contaminated the results.
