Explaining Their Ability To Survive Underground

The scientist Murrell went on to explain how the creatures are able to survive as well. He says, “The bacteria get all of their carbon from just one source, be it methane or carbon dioxide. That means that all of the components of their cells, be it the DNA in their nucleus, the lipids in their cell membrane and the proteins in their enzymes, are made from the same simple ingredient.”

Movile Bacteria

Even Boden further explains about their ability to survive, “The Movile bacteria are also very similar to bacteria found elsewhere, despite having being trapped in the cave for over 5 million years.” The difference is that the animals underground found ways to adapt to their new environment, morphing practically into completely new and isolated species that live only inside the cave.
