Phylogenetic analysis of bacteria preserved within an ice wedge from the Fox permafrost tunnel was undertaken by cultivation and molecular techniques. The radiocarbon age of the ice wedge was determined. Our results suggest that the bacteria in the ice wedge adapted to the frozen conditions have survived for 25,000 years.
通过培养和分子技术对取自福克斯多年冻土隧道冰楔中的细菌进行了系统发育分析。测定了冰楔的放射性碳年龄。我们的结果表明,适应冰冻条件的冰楔中的细菌已经存活了25000年。
