Scientists already developed the formula for drugs which includes the new bacteria and colloidal silver. The drug will be tested in a largescale study at several poultry farms by the Ural Federal Districts of Russia within the coming years. According to the representatives of the project it will involve “tens of thousands of chickens” and the money for it has already been allocated so it is expected that the study will start in early 2016. Leading researcher of the Tyumen Scientific Center, Andrei Subbotin, commented that the work is being carried out using bacteria found in the depths of Mammoth Mountain in Yakutia, on the right bank of the river Chara. The maximum age of the rocks from which they are extracted, reaches 3.5 million years. It has been revealed that this type of bacteria can survive in permafrost for hundreds of years. It is activated and starts growing at temperatures higher than 5°C. “We are not 100% sure that this is an ancient, relict bacteria we are
dealing with. Because the frozen ground is permeable, it could be of more recent date. Our hypothesis is that the bacteria in the permafrost are not in suspended animation, but are in a so called state of hypometabolism. This means they continue to function,” he stated.
