From RIANOVOSTI:
 MOSCOW, March 7 (RIA Novosti) - A preliminary examination of water
samples from the ancient subglacial Lake Vostok near the South Pole
indicated that its inhabitants are not to be found anywhere else on
Earth, a member of the research team told RIA Novosti.
The species of bacteria, whose traces were found in probes of water
from Lake Vostok, do not belong to any of the 40-plus known subkingdoms
of bacteria, said Sergei Bulat, a researcher at the Laboratory of
Eukaryote Genetics at the St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute.
"After excluding all known contaminants…we discovered bacterial DNA
that does not match any known species listed in global databanks. We
call it unidentified and 'unclassified' life," Bulat said.
