New Type of Bacteria Found in Fracking Wells
Scientists have discovered an entirely new genus of bacteria living in hydraulic fracking wells, part of a thriving ecosystem of microorganisms that contains at least 31 different species.Writing in the journal Nature Microbiology, researchers from Ohio State University describe finding nearly identical microbial communities in two fracking wells, despite the fact that the wells were located hundreds of miles from each other, and drilled by different energy companies using different techniques, into different types of shale that formed millions of years apart.RELATED: Migraine?Stuffy Sinuses?

Samples of "produced water fluid" [the fluid collected out after fracturing] from hydraulic fracturing on two distinct shales yield surprising numbers of microorganisms, included a new genus of bacteria.The microbes in these waters form an ecosystem, complete with food, viruses, and methane biproduct — all existing in a highly strenuous environment.Fracki-what Now?
