New Bacteria Found Eating Up Rusty Iron Structure of shipwrecked Titanic

by $h@mood G on January 13, 2011
Scientists examining samples of the shipwrecked Titanic have discovered a new type of bacteria threatening to devour the entire iron structure of the ocean liner.



The new species of microscopic bacteria, Halmonas Titanicae from the Halomondaceae family, has been found eating away at the sunken ship, UK's The Sun reports.

The samples were actually taken from the ship in 1991, but new DNA technology has only recently allowed scientists to identify the rust-eating bacteria.
