In the ocean, found a new life form
In the Australian depths of the ocean, scientists have identified 2 unusual organism in which they failed to recognize any 1 of the now famous biological types. Resembling mushrooms creation may be considered extinct millions of years ago life forms.
A group of scientists from Australia and Denmark made the discovery, made the assumption that the detected fungi are considered "unsuccessful experiments in the evolution of multicellular, explains in the article the scientific portal Plos One.com. 2 kinds of mushrooms Dendrogramma enigmatica and Dendrogramma discoides, living deep in the ocean, were caught off the coast of Tasmania in 1986, and then for a long time dwelt in formaldehyde and an alcohol solution. Directly for this reason, in 2014, when scientists decided to research it became known that to determine their unrealistic.
Dendrogramma, in Latin, "branching", "tree", owned single-ended, semi-transparent body size up to 1.5 cm in height, not very large mouth hole at the top and branched stomach, the area around which is full of jelly-like substance. The outlet is on the "leg". Information about their lifestyle, dietary intake and behavior yet.
Previously, researchers from the Australian national research Foundation and the natural history Museum of Copenhagen has been collected 18 samples, referred subsequently to the kinds of "mysterious" and "disc-shaped", but again mysterious "mushrooms" were not caught. As told 1 of the authors of the study, similar findings occur 4 times in 100 years.
It is noted that the detected organisms have some similarities with other types obitateli underwater fauna such as corals and jellyfish. However no single classification for all criteria are not possible.
