Nasa Discovers a Bacteria That Can Live And Grow on Arsenic

Posted: 02 Dec 2010 08:53 PM PST

The more diverse life is found to be on earth the better chance there is of life being found outside our planet. I believe that chance was already 100%; but still an interesting find.

"No, NASA has not found life on another planet, but has found life here on Earth that is almost "alien" to our narrow, phosphate-based view of life. Scientists have discovered — or "trained," actually — a type of bacteria that can live and grow almost entirely on a poison, arsenic, and incorporates it into its DNA. This "weird" form of life, which can use something other than phosphorus — what we think of as a basic building block of life — is quite different from what we think of as life on Earth. It doesn't directly provide proof of a "shadow biosphere," a second form of life that lives side-by-side with other life on our planet, but does suggest that the requirements for life's beginnings and foundations may be more flexible than we thought. This means life elsewhere in the solar system and beyond could arise in a multitude of conditions."
