Think that was fantastic...they found some bacterial spores in a salt mine in the US a few years back that were dated to be around 250 million years old....Permian Period to be exact. They extracted the spores and stuck them in an agar solution just for the fun of it, to see what happened. The spores reanimated themselves and started to multiply!!!!. So, it just goes to show you, these little critters can last a very long time in the harshest of conditions. |
