Researchers have discovered new biomarkers for previously unknown organisms

Newly discovered biomarkers show that about a billion years ago, unknown creatures called prosteroids lived in the complex life of Earth.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, a recent study by scientists shows ancient microorganisms that were present on earth about 1.6 billion years ago. They probably lived in marine environments.

New research has discovered fossils of these unknown creatures dating back billions of years. These organisms, called protistol biota, existed in a world with much less oxygen than the current amount. The discovered organisms belong to the eukaryote family, which had a complex cell structure with mitochondria and a nucleus. The recent discovery was made by scientists from the Australian National University and the Helmholtz Society from Germany.

Jochen Brooks, one of the professors of the Australian National University and one of the authors of this study, says: Scientists first managed to map the types of steroids to the fossil equivalent of Shaman by using a combination of methods. Thus they could. Uncovering neglected works in a rock belonging to 1.6 billion years ago at the bottom of the ocean in the northern region of Australia.

Dr. Benjamin Netersheim, the senior author of this article, said: The goal of the researchers was to trace the molecular remains of early organisms in the history of the Earth as much as possible. According to him, according to previous research, they had found the place of discovery of precious and ancient molecular artifacts related to the early life of the earth. There are only a few places on earth where the ancient sediments are not buried to a depth of several kilometers or the diagnostic ecological information of biomolecules has not been destroyed by heat.
