This organism bid farewell to aerobic respiration a long time ago. Living organisms with the capability to exist without the involvement of oxygen is a little bit controversial. Our current knowledge revolves around oxygen being the key element used by all living organisms present on this planet for survival. Recent research shows that some microbial organisms can withstand the oxygen-deficient environment.   H. Salminicola is a member  of Phylum Cnidarian to which jellyfish and sea anemones also belong. H. Salminicola is parasitic and can commonly dwell inside Salmon fish, but it’s not harmful to its host and will usually remain inside the fish throughout its life cycle. Recent research conducted on this organism revealed that it lacked the conventional life apparatus known as ‘Mitochondria”, which is involved in the production of energy-rich molecules known as ATP. It is due to this energy-rich molecule that we occasionally designate mitochondria as the po...

What is the Coronavirus and why is it difficult to restrain it? Coronavirus is common in animals and has some forms that don’t even affect humans. This same virus is responsible for causing two well-known diseases named SARS and MERS in the outbreaks of 2002 and 2012 respectively. Due to complicated mutation capabilities these viruses become very unpredictable. This feature of the virus makes it a mystery for the scientists who are constantly trying to sequence its genetic material for vaccine production. Transmission of the virus and common symptoms The latest diseases caused by Coronavirus has been named COVID-19 and is said to have caused the pneumonia-like condition in its victims. Like the others this Coronavirus is said to have been transmitted from wildlife to humans.  Its being said that the virus made its way to its human host from a seafood market located in Wuhan province of China. This new coronavirus is much more dangerous than the seasonal flu that...

Himalaya contaminated with toxic metals and other chemicals, claims research Himalaya is home to the tallest mountains in the world and has remained a subject of mankind for a very long time. Tranquility and pureness of environment are some of the unique attributes of Himalaya along with vast networks of mountains and glaciers. Himalaya has naturally inherited regions that are thousands of meters above sea level, which in turn isolates them from the rest of the world. One can easily assume that this remoteness from the world shields it from the activity of humans but this is not the case. A recent research claims that the region has been contaminated with metal toxins that evolved in the region with the dawn of industrial revolution in England. Scientist in 1997 drilled and gathered samples from glacier at Dasuopu, located on Shishapangma, which is also the 14 th tallest mountain in the world. After carrying a comprehensive analysis on these samples researchers came to t...
