The European Space Agency documented the creation of this piece of land, which had remained hidden under the sea. Meanwhile, one of the teams sequenced the DNA of the samples taken on the island, discovering that when fertilized with bird droppings, the bacteria flourished rapidly. In the areas without vegetation, bacteria were found for which there were no previous records. The news is so surprising that microbial ecologist Nick Dragone, from the University of Colorado, has made public statements without saying anything with certainty: “One of the reasons we think we see these microbes is because of the properties associated with volcanic eruptions.: Lots of sulfur and hydrogen sulfide gas, which likely fuel the unique taxa we found.”
