The scientists have discovered a previously unknown kind of bacteria, prolonging life and health, in the ever-frost conditions of the Republic of Yakutia, NanoNewsNet reports.

The lab mice, in which scientists injected these bacteria, were healthy and lived longer than other mice.

The discovered bacteria is reportedly activated at the temperature of +5 degrees in Celsius. The bacteria has “laid behind” from the contemporary bacteria by 3 million years on protein characteristics and other factors.

The scientists assumed that these bacteria possessed a special mechanism of maintaining viability that enabled its to survive among dead species.

“In addition, their types of bacterial walls and proteins, different from modern ones, will cause a stronger and more specific immune response if injected into a mouse. This was exactly what happened,” Nadezhda Mironova, the senior scientist of the Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science, said.

Animals that received a shot of the bacteria turned out better off in all regards that other controlled mice.

“It has been proved that injections favorably influenced some indicators of living conditions of older animals. First of all, that concerns immune system and speed of activation,” the scientists announced.

In addition, the scientists examined mice that had previously received injections of Bacillius F and using the magnet resonance tomography found out that there were two types of positively increased mediators: the glutamate and taurine, possessing immune regulating features and influencing a cell’s longevity.

Glutamate is also responsible for psychostimulation, and taurine regulates energy processes. This way, metabolism of vaccinated mice is also accelerated, and if calculated in accordance with age is 20-30% higher in vaccinated mice. “This shows that life quality of these animals is better,” the scientists said.
