The Hadal zone of the world, including the seaside region of 19,700 to 36,000 feet (6,000 to 11,000 meters), the sea level. The reference to the Greek god of hell is not a coincidence – that is the deepest region of our ocean and is one of the least exploration areas in the world. The new research provides clarity about this remarkable environment and a living thing called home, despite having a violent condition.
The researchers use the modern Chinese submersible called FENDOUZHE to jump more than 35,700 feet (10,900 meters). Lower than the sea level and collecting hundreds of biological samples from Dald in the groove of the world. studyPublished on March 6 in the cell journal emphasizing a surprise diversity in one of the most violent environments in the world.
“The novelty is very diverse and is very different in Microbiome Haadal, especially among the Procaryotes and viruses, which are affected by the wider context of the severe environment, as well as a delicate landscape in the Hadal area.” Their work is part of the Environmental and Ecological Research Project of Matha (More), which they claim that “The first view of the ecosystem in the Hadal zone”
The Dadal zone has high pressure, the temperature is near the frozen, low nutrients and almost complete darkness. Simply put, “an extraordinary environmental challenge to life” as researchers said. However, the example of Hadal revealed that there are 7,564 microbial species or 89.4% being recorded for the first time. The “amazing diversity” of the sample is reflected in the genetics of microbes, which revealed a variety of survival strategies.
The paper is one of Three or more studies In the Hadal Zone ecosystem published on the same day One of the other studies is detailed. Amfdo (Organisms that resemble small shrimp) may grow in the harsh environment of the Hadal zone due to biological relationships with other bacteria, indicating that the fish lived more than 1.8 miles (3 kilometers) lower than all sea level. Genetic mutations That helps them reduce the effects of colds, pressure and lack of sunlight
The last study also estimated that some marine creatures came down before deep. For example, the researchers suggest that the sea colonial fish is about 100 million years ago, which allowed them to survive. The impact of the meteorite that almost eliminates dinosaurs. And the decay marine organisms that live in shallow waters
Overall, all three studies demonstrate the existence of a similar adjustment mechanism between microbes and large organisms that live in Da Dal. “These findings indicate that the existence of adaptation strategies to the possibility of the environment. Explanation About all three studies In other words, the harsh environment of the Hadal zone should push unrelated species to develop similar characteristics.
Aside from microbes, Ampravi and fish. However, researchers also meet human litter: plastic bags, cans, soda, bear bottles and even washing baskets according to reports. science–
“This is very shocking for us,” Weishu Zhao Extremophile microorganist at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and participating in microbial studies. science– While her and her colleagues have noted that the deep sea microbes seems to be able to process some human contaminants, which seems to be a small consolation in the face of humanity to the deepest region of our ocean.
In the end, the study provided rare in -depth information about the region's great diversity. When believed that it was not lively– Proof that life always finds a way
