Scientists in Buryatia have brought a rare bacterium back to life.
Scientists could re-collect a rare bacterium from a hot spring in Buryatia, which died in the laboratory more than 10 years ago. Re-growing it in a test tube was impossible, so the researchers simply took water from Lake Umkhey, sequenced the DNA found there, and found the missing parts of the microbe's genome among thousands of fragments.
