A New Species of Extremophilic Bacteria Discovered in the Elbrus Region

A new species of extremophilic bacteria has been isolated by JINR scientists, along with their colleagues from INR of RAS, from subsurface water in an unused tunnel of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory of INR of RAS. The species is able to withstand high concentrations of heavy metals and to grow using C1 compounds as a carbon source. In the long term, this bacterial species can be used to purify soils and waste water from heavy metals and also to recover biomass using an inexpensive carbon source methanol.
