Scientists have discovered a protein that enables bacteria to shut down into dormant spores under extreme conditions. The process, which enables the bacteria to become practically indestructible, explains why bacteria can survive in uninhabitable places such as under the permafrost, in the depths of the ocean or in outer space.
