Post-it, a diverse group of scientists researching the Bermuda Triangle to find anomalies that are considered responsible for the accident so strange there. But none have been found.U.S. Coast Guard and even presented a report that said, the incidence of vessel is more common in the Bermuda Triangle from other regions, due to the storm.
In the 1990s, interest in the Bermuda Triangle to fade.However, recently, scientists from the United States finds 'anomalies' else in the Bermuda Triangle. This has nothing to do with the disappearance of ships or aircraft.
The Bermuda Institute of Oceanology of scientists led by Professor Craig Carlson found, the water level in the area was filled with a variety of viruses. The good news, it does not threaten human virus. They are only interested in marine bacteria.
These findings are the result of oceanographic research in the northwestern Sargasso Sea - which is located near the island of Bermuda and the Bermuda Triangle - for ten years.
Scientists uncover the dynamics of microscopic organisms is related to the season. For example, in the summer, the virus multiplied in the water layer at a depth of 60 to 100 meters.Their number could reach ten million particles per one drop of water. In winter, they are not detected on the surface, the organism that chose to live in deeper locations.
Also of interest, the investigators' analysis revealed that 90 percent of the viral DNA has not been known to science. They include bacteriophages - viruses that prey on bacteria.Scientists also found organic molecules dead bacteria around the virus. That makes the surface of the water in the region rich in nutrients. This means that bacteriophages form a microscopic ecosystem in which they live.
The virus creates a 'cafeteria' in the region. Not only interesting plakton organisms, but also made whales and dolphins come and look for food in there.
The scientists claim to be amazed by the findings that they produce. Therefore, the earlier they did not know the role of this virus in the formation of marine ecosystems. According to oceanographers, marine viruses are poorly understood because they are difficult to capture. But it is now clear, they are countless in all seas and oceans.
"Their numbers are 95 percent of the total biomass of the sea. That is, the amount of virus is even greater than the combination of krill (a type of small shrimp), fish and larger animals such as whales. Given the rate of multiplication of viruses and their number, it becomes clear how important their role in the nutrient cycle on the planet, "says co-author, Dr Rachel Persons.
Although research conducted in the Bermuda Triangle - a unique location in the ocean - some experts believe, in this case there are no abnormalities specific to the Bermuda triangle. The virus is also found in some areas of the ocean.(Source: Pravda) (eh)
