About Bacillus F strain
It is a new previously unknown species and is capable of surviving for geological periods of time in extremely uninhabitable conditions. Single bacterial cells captured into ice crystals remain viable without a nutrient medium and the ability to create the colonies.
It differs from modern microorganisms by a specific set of biochemical indicators and has a unique ability to prevent the destruction of the genetic apparatus for many hundreds of thousands years.
This strain has special super-powerful mechanisms for protecting and/or repairing DNA from mutations resulting from the effects of thermal destruction, various radiations, free radicals and other damaging factors that cause aging of the body.
Bacillus F strain is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, straight or slightly curved, round-ended, slightly mobile rods, up to 5-7 µm, that occur singly, some in chains and occasionally as long filaments. Endospores are formed, no more than one to a cell. Facultative anaerobes.
It actively grows on routine solid and liquid media under the most unfavorable physical and chemical environmental conditions. Colony morphology and size are very variable depending on media.
