Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the microbial diversity found in ancient salt deposits of the Kunming Salt Mine using advanced genetic techniques like PCR-DGGE and rRNA analysis.
- There were 27 major bacterial groups detected, but most of the microbes in the samples appeared to be uncultivable in a lab setting, meaning they can't easily be grown in culture.
- The research identified a diverse range of bacteria, primarily belonging to the alpha and gamma-proteobacteria and Actinobacteria lineages, highlighting that the microbial community in these ancient salt deposits is highly specialized and complex.
