Comparative Genomics and Phylogenomics of Novel Radiation-Resistant Bacterium Paracoccus qomolangmaensis sp. nov. S3-43T, Showing Pyrethroid Degradation

Scientists discovered a new type of bacteria called Paracoccus qomolangmaensis living on Mount Everest at extreme altitude where radiation is 10-20 times stronger than at sea level. This remarkable bacterium can survive intense radiation, oxidative stress, and can degrade harmful pesticides called pyrethroids. The bacteria’s genome contains special genes for repairing DNA damage and protecting itself from oxidative stress, making it a valuable resource for understanding how life survives in extreme conditions and potentially cleaning up pesticide contamination.
