Cyanobacteria...

 



May all beings be happy. May they live in safety and joy.... As a mother watches over her child, willing to risk her own life to protect her only child, so with a boundless heart... cherish all living beings, suffusing the whole world with unobstructed loving kindness... During all your waking hours, may you remain mindful of this heart and this way of living that is the best in the world. - Shakyamuni Buddha




A bit of science. Everything is impermeant, however some life forms have had a VERY long "shelf life"!


OLDEST.ORG - Cyanobacteria are the oldest existing species in the world. These bacteria are believed to be the Earth’s oldest known life form.

Fossilized stromatolites — a type of layered rock made up of microbial mats of microorganisms — dating back to over 3.5 billion years ago contain evidence of cyanobacteria activity. However, this evidence is disputed and as of 2010, the oldest undisputed evidence of cyanobacteria is 2.1 billion years old.

Cyanobacteria live in almost every terrestrial and aquatic habitat in the world, including, oceans, damp soil, desert rocks that were temporarily wet, and even Antarctic rocks. They are known for their blue-green color, especially aquatic cyanobacteria, which can form highly visible and colorful blooms.
