Just read a news article about how 3 completely new types of bacteria have been found on the international space station due to it’s isolation, if that’s the case then how did they get there if we have never observed them before? what created them?
In: Biology
They would have mutated from prior bacteria.
The space station is a good place to observe this…relatively high radiation environment (more mutations), relatively few competitors, very stable temperature/humidity, lots of scientists around to keep watch on things. And bacteria multiple very quickly so they evolve much faster than we do.
