34,000 year old bacteria

34000-year-old life found in salt crystals
Scientists have found 34,000-year-old bacteria trapped inside tiny bubbles of salt crystals that could be the oldest living organisms on Earth, according to a report in the latest edition of GSA Today. The salt crystals containing the bacteria were found buried in the Death Valley of California. "It.[...]
34,000-Year-Old Life Found Still Alive...
I was searching for a topic to research for this week, and found this article which I thought might interest some of you and relates to our last lecture. A 34,000 year old bacteria was found alive in Death Valley These bacteria are not doing anything other than maintaining themselves: "They're alive.[...]

34,000-Year-Old Life Found Still Alive In Death Valley

34,000 year-old bacteria were found in Death Valley… alive. A new paper published in the January 2011 edition of GSA Today tells the story of the bacteria, which remained in a virtual "suspended animation" for millennia. "They're alive, but they're not using any energy to swim around, they're not re.[...]
