Researchers at Denmark’s Aarhus College are not considering it as bad news, but they say that these viruses can act like a secret weapon somewhere, and can prevent ice from melting rapidly. The study has been published in the Microbiome Journal.
According to Laura Perini, a university researcher, he does not know much about the virus. But they believe that the flowering of algae flourishes the speed of melting ice, and these viruses can reduce this speed. That is, they can prevent algae from flourishing, because they are described as infected viruses infected. But the researcher also said that how effective they are in this work, it is difficult to say now. But this can be ascertained by doing further research on these.
The team of researchers collected samples from the ice layer. It included samples of dark ice, ice core, red and green ice. After analyzing their DNA, researchers found that they were matching the virtuous virus. Viruses are usually much smaller than bacteria.
According to Science Day by Day, ordinary viruses are of 20 to 200 nanometers (nm) size. While bacteria are of 2 to 3 micrometers (mm) size. Simply put, viruses are 1000 times smaller than bacteria. But this is not the case with the virtuous virus. Such virus sizes can also grow up to 2.5 micrometers (MM). That is, they are mostly found in size from bacteria.
So can these virus be seen with naked eyes too? The answer is- no! Researchers say that they use only regular tools to find them, they cannot be seen with naked eyes, nor can be identified. Even they are saved from the eyes of a light power microscope.
