Presencia de microbios en muestras tomadas dentro del cr\u00e1ter del volc\u00e1n Po\u00e1s, en Costa Rica, <\/strong>han sido hallados por cient\u00edficos de la Universidad de Colorado en Boulder, EE.UU que esperan encontrar pistas sobre c\u00f3mo fue en la antig\u00fcedad el planeta rojo.<\/p>\n

El equipo de investigadores, cuyo trabajo fue divulgado en la \u00faltima edici\u00f3n de la revista cient\u00edfica Astrobiology<\/em>, realiz\u00f3 la recolecci\u00f3n de muestras en el lago conocido como \u201cLaguna caliente\u201d ubicado dentro del cr\u00e1ter del volc\u00e1n y cuya agua es 10 millones de veces m\u00e1s \u00e1cida que la que se recibe en las casas y pueden alcanzar temperaturas de ebullici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

\u00abEste es un lugar que, en gran medida, tiene la misma qu\u00edmica y los mismos minerales que antes estaban presentes en los sistemas hidrotermales de Marte<\/strong>. Estudiando este sitio podemos aprender lo que ocurr\u00eda en Marte hace 3.500 millones de a\u00f1os<\/em>\u00ab, se\u00f1al\u00f3 Hynek.<\/p>\n

Agreg\u00f3 que las caracter\u00edsticas del lago son incluso m\u00e1s duras de las que tuvo en una \u00e9poca inicial en el planeta rojo, por lo que haber hallado estos microbios en ese lago crea esperanzas de que pudiera haber habido vida all\u00ed.<\/p>\n

\u00abMarte es un gran lugar para buscar porque tuvo condiciones que pudieron haber permitido formas de vida similares a las terrestres<\/em>\u00ab, se\u00f1al\u00f3 Hynek, qui\u00e9n considera alentador haber encontrado vida en ese volc\u00e1n pese a las duras condiciones que prevalecen all\u00ed y a su alta toxicidad.<\/p>\n

El equipo de investigaci\u00f3n, en el que tambi\u00e9n participa el profesor Guillermo Alvarado de la Universidad de Costa Rica, realiz\u00f3 la secuenciaci\u00f3n del ADN de los microbios y no ha sido posible identificarlos<\/strong>. Al respecto Hynek indic\u00f3 \u00abQuiz\u00e1 nunca antes hab\u00eda sido secuenciado y, por tanto, no hay nada en los archivos con lo que cotejarlo bien. Ahora estamos haciendo el mapa completo del genoma de este microbio<\/strong> para entender exactamente qu\u00e9 es, donde encaja en el \u00e1rbol de la vida y cu\u00e1n similar o diferente es de otros microbios y bacterias<\/em>\u00ab.<\/p>\n

Los investigadores prev\u00e9n concluir el mapa del genoma en los pr\u00f3ximos seis meses y regresar al Po\u00e1s durante el verano boreal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
