Chapter 1035: Nobel Prize: How to get Professor Xu to receive the award?(2/2)
What everyone expects is that the core of this microorganism is a carbon-based RNA structure similar to a virus.
Researchers on the moon speculate that this is also the main reason why it can infect humans.
In other words, in a way, Class A Martian bacteria and diatoms on Earth can be considered close relatives.
Of course, if you want to be morphologically, it is more like a virus on Earth.
The outer bread is wrapped in a layer of protein subunits (silicon carbon compounds) arranged regularly, and this layer is called the "capsid" of the virus.
The substance wrapped in the "capsid" is its genetic material, which can be continuously replicated and evolved in the organism after infecting the organism.
But compared with viruses on Earth, this Martian microorganism is more complex.
Viruses are mainly composed of genetic material and proteins, and are a form of substance between life and non-life. Moreover, viruses do not have a complete cellular structure and can only rely on parasitization in other people or animals to maintain their lives.
But this type of Martian bacteria has a complete cellular structure and can survive by engulfing two other smaller Martian microorganisms and bacteria found with it.
Compared with viruses on Earth, its life form is obviously more advanced.
At the same time, the results of research on Liu Yang's mutational body structure have also come out.
The structures that replaced her nails, skin, hair and other body tissues have a high similarity to the shell of this type of Mars bacteria.
However, compared with the shell of Class A Martian bacteria composed simply of materials such as carbon, silicon, and oxygen, the shell that replaces Liu Yang's body structure is more like a silicon protein structure that has undergone another complex evolution.
Judging from the current preliminary test results, this body structure has a series of characteristics such as cold resistance, heat resistance and radiation resistance.
It can maintain activity at least minus forty degrees Celsius and below 70 degrees Celsius, and can reproduce with nutrients.
That’s right, it’s the ‘mitosis’ of normal cells in the human body to create offspring!
It is like having a baby, and when a silicone protein cell matures, it can give birth to the next generation.
