New isolate 3 mi below ocean floor ?

[james eric graham]

Out local paper this weekend had a blurb about a "bacteria" 
isolated from several miles below the ocean floor. The 
paragraph indicated that it represented some kind of breakthrough
as reported in Nature recently.

Can some one fill me in on the importance of this find ?

Thanks much, please E-mail copies,
