Tagoro, a submarine fountain of liquid magma, ejected off the drift the Canary Islands in 2011, wiping out the majority of the marine environment. The zone has since been colonized by another types of proteobacteria with fibers that stick to one another and shape a huge white tangle, reaching out for almost a large portion of a section of land at profundities of around 430 feet.
The new species appears to have extraordinary metabolic attributes that enable them to make due in this recently shaped submerged magma seabed. The proteobacteria are making ready for new environments to create. Researchers call the filamentous tangle of microorganisms "Venus' hair."
