Halophilic archaea cultivated from surface sterilized middle-late eocene rock salt are polyploid.

Halophilic archaea cultivated from surface sterilized middle-late eocene rock salt are polyploid.

Live bacteria and archaea have been isolated from several rock salt deposits of up to hundreds of millions of years of age from all around the world. A key factor affecting their longevity is the ability to keep their genomic DNA intact, for which efficient repair mechanisms are needed. Polyploid mi...
