The recovery of live ancient bacteria, fungi and other biological material from various sources fossilized in amber or related resins is described. Several ancient bacterial strains have been classified as related to various species of the modern genus Bacillus, for example, based upon their morphological and biochemical characteristics, and enzymatic activity profiles. Although some of the characteristics of the ancient organisms correlate well with their modern counterparts, several differences have been observed. In addition, several of the ancient organisms described herein exhibit potent antimicrobial activitites against modern bacterial and fungal pathogens which attack animals and plants. Various uses for these ancient organisms are envisioned, including their use in agriculture, industrial processes, bioremediation, diagnostic and disease treatment.

L'invention concerne la récupération d'organismes vivants anciens, tels que des bactéries, des champignons ou d'autres matériaux biologiques provenant de différentes sources et fossilisés dans de l'ambre ou dans des résines apparentées. On a classifié plusieurs souches bactériennes anciennes comme étant apparentées à différentes espèces du genre moderne Bacillus, par exemple, en fonction de leurs caractéristiques morphologiques et biochimiques, ainsi que de leurs profils d'activité enzymatique. Bien que certaines des caractéristiques des organismes anciens correspondent bien à leurs contreparties modernes, on a observé plusieurs différences. De plus, plusieurs des organismes anciens décrits par l'invention, présentent des activités antimicrobiennes puissantes contre des pathogènes modernes, bactériens et fongiques, qui attaquent les animaux et les plantes. On envisage différentes utilisations de ces organismes anciens, y compris leur mise en application dans l'agriculture, dans des processus industriels, dans des traitements correcteurs biologiques, ainsi que dans des procédés diagnostiques et thérapeutiques de traitement de maladies.
