Some Indian scientists have found that micro-organisms called "extremophiles", which can survive in boiling water and ultraviolet radiation rays.

According to the local tabloids Mail Today, scientists have found that micro-organisms at the height of 40 kilometers above the Earth.

Research led by scientists from the Center of Cellular and Microbiology in the city of Hyderabad, South India, S Shivaji. He has been researching bacteria in Antarctica, Arctic Ocean, and the Himalaya glacier. "The three new species that can now be found from all the species so far reported in the scientific record," said the newspaper, which quoted description of Shivaji.

Bacteria that can survive in the ultraviolet radiation dose is higher, to grow in low nutrient conditions, and have a fatty acid arrangement that allows them to survive in extreme conditions.

New species is now diisolasi. All species collected from a height of between 20 kilometers and 41.4 kilometers in April 2005, but the new finding has not happened this time. Scientists say it is difficult to predict how bacteria can survive in low oxygen environments such as these.

Extremophiles research raises questions about the viability of life. That can lead to the introduction of more information about the new series and find the application of various products based on biotechnology.
