		Nanobes are tiny filamental structure s first found in some rocks and sediment s.
		Some researchers believe nanobe-like organism s might be implicated in a number of disease s, and even that they may explain the previously mysterious calcification of teeth in the human mouth, and thus actually be a useful/necessary probiotic parasite, like acidophilus.
		Nanobe were discovered in 1996 (published in American Minerologist, vol 83., 1998) by Philipa Uwins, University of Queensland, Australia.

	Talk:Nanobe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The reason users of the word "nanobe" don't say "nanobacteria" is that it's entirely possible that some or all of the less than 200 nm cellular organisms are not actually a kind of bacteria, per se, but are some other small organism.
		The reason why it's popular to use nanobe to describe fossil "nanobacteria" is because Dr. Philippa J.R. Uwins' discovery of nanobes was used to bolster the argument that the fossils found in a martian asteroid could be remnants of something that was once living.
		As in most cases Nanobes are used to refer to geological specimens; whereas, Nanobacteria are used to refer to the biological variety.

		Not much is known about nanobes, and indeed there is some controversy over whether they truly exist as a form of life, or if the evidence attributed to these tiny creatures is merely the result of crystal formation and other normal biochemical reactions.
		The first major public announcement about nanobes occurred in relation to the discovery of what appeared to be fossilized nanobes in rocks thought to have come from Mars.
		Some scientists are thinking that nanobes could be responsible for the calcification of tissues, as typically occurs with the adult human pineal gland.

	Nanobes
		We refer to the nano-organisms identified on the sandstone samples as nanobes because their phylogeny has still to be established.
		Nanobes have cellular structures similar to Actinomycetes and fungi (spores, hyphae and fruiting bodies) with the exception that they are up to 10 times smaller in diameter (25nm-1.0µm).
		They have hollow, membrane bound structures that are most likely composed of C, O and N. Whilst morphologically distinct, nanobes are in the same size range as the controversial nanobacteria described by others in a variety of different rock types and in the Martian meteorite ALH84001.

		The Queensland researchers said that the nanobes grew in the laboratory when exposed to air, moved away from the electron beam during scanning electron microscopy, and possess structures like cells walls.
		However, the claim remains controversial with other experts warning that the DNA could be from contamination on the rock surface and pointing to the unusual fact that the filaments should grow in air when their normal environment is anaerobic.
		If the nanobes are confirmed as alive, they will break not just the small size record but also the record for hyperthermophiles since at the depth they were found the temperature is more than 150°C.

		Since his discovery of nanobes in Italian hot spring deposits, Folk says he has found nanobes in such things as bird bath scum, decayed leaves in streams, brownish water from old flower bouquets, air filters, tap and well water, hair, feces, blood, gallstones, chicken egg shells, clam shells, and teeth.

		Their discoverers call them nanobes (pronounced NAN-obes), because their size is in the realm of nanometers (or billionths of a meter).
		Stunning electron micrographs of the nanobes, printed in the November-December 1998 issue of American Mineralogist, a journal of the Mineralogical Society of America, show riots of filaments and tendrils, their ends often swollen and suggestive of reproductive budding.
		The colonies of nanobes grew so rapidly and so large, the team reported in American Mineralogist, that within weeks of becoming established on growth substrates they became visible to the naked eye, appearing as dense colonies of opaque, white, brown or gray filaments.

		Dubbed nanobes, the lilliputian forms are a tenth of the size of the smallest known bacteria, and present a major riddle if they really are living organisms.
		According to Dr Philippa Uwins of the University of Queensland, the nanobes recovered in rock cores from a deep bore-hole in Western Australia are still alive and wriggling in her laboratory.
		If nanobes are real, and have got what it takes to reproduce with just a handful of specialised molecules, it would provide powerful evidence in favour of a universe teeming with life.

		Night of the living Nanobe In 1996 NASA's claim to have found fossilized nanobacteria from a Martian meteorite was seriously doubted, in part due to the tiny size of these fossils.
		If DNA tests prove these nanobes to be alive, they are so tiny that they could easily pass into and around the human body with little chance for detection with current technology.

		On the other hand, nanobes may be a clue that there are forms of life not as we know it.

		Nanobes would fit nicely with the traces found earlier in the famous meteorite ALH84001.

	Science Show - 3/06/00: Nanobes
		Philippa Uwins: Yes nanobes are a group of organisms which we've discovered growing in some sandstone samples that came from outer western Australia and the interesting thing about the nanobes is that they're in a size range that's argued, on a current understanding of biological theory to be too small to exist.
		And the other interesting aspect of the nanobes is that they're in the same size range as the controversial Martian nanobe bacteria that were found in a meteorite some years ago.
		These are some of the larger organisms that are associated with the nanobes which may represent some sort of fruiting or reproductive structures.

	Nanobes - Introduction
		The scientific community is divided on their thoughts on this with many experts suggesting that nanobacteria are simply too small to contain the all-important genetic material and cell processes associated with small life-forms.
		The nanobes from the sandstone are not identical to the structures within ALH84001 but they are roughly the same size.
		She accepts that the evidence gained to-date is still open to a variety of interpretations especially as the study of subterranean organisms is still in its infancy with many fresh surprises to come.

		Because it is so much smaller than a microbe, the creature – if that is in fact what it is – has been christened &#x2018;nanobe’;.
		Nanobes occur as filaments on rocks 3–5 km below the Australian seabed and, at 20 to 150 nm in diameter, are smaller than all known microorganisms(even mycoplasmas are about 300nm).
		If the claim that nanobes are alive is true, this is an astonishing finding and makes one wonder how they might have evolved.
