New Species of Bacteria and Cave System

New Species of Bacteria discovered from the Black Hole of South Andros:

It has taken two years, countless hours by multinationals to identify and isolate this tiny living life form but finally it has yielded its secret to the scientific world. This new discovery will be named after the late Robert John Palmer who was the first person to describe the black hole in his book, 'The Blue Holes of the Bahamas." This is a very unusual bacterium in that it seems to be responsible for most of the unusual heat being generated in the one metre thick layer found at 17.8 metres at this site. The temperature graph is viewable on this site under Black Hole expedition.

The Black Holes themselves appear to have formed in a completely different way from the blue holes that we dive on regular bases. This paper will provide a possible explanation as to why these black holes are so round and how they may actually have formed. The papers will be available shortly.
