A team of marine virologists reported the discovery of a new virus in sediment 29,200 feet below sea level in the Mariana Trench which reaches nearly 36,100 feet at its lowest point.
Marine virologists analyzed sediment from the Mariana Trench, the deepest place on Earth, and identified a new bacteriophage.
Scientists have discovered a new virus isolated from sediment brought up from a depth of 8,900 meters. The virus is a bacteriophage – a virus that infects and replicates inside bacteria – and is thought to be the deepest known isolated phage to date.
Scientists recovered a sample of the virus from an astonishing 5.5 miles below the waves.
