My boyfriend and I went to Carlsbad Caverns this past March. I am sitting in front of the brochure that says : "Lechuguilla cave will probably not be opened to the public. Within the cave scientists have discovered microbes that produce enzymes capable of destroying concer cells."

I am curious as to what properties these microbes may have, if any.

I'm sure that the cave microbes are being picked apart. I suppose the same will happen to the vent microbes. It will remain a monumental task.

I always wanted to see Carl's good caverns. But they only show the public the bad ones.
