Scientists have discovered a previously 
 species of microbes. Researchers in the USA found them in an 
 below and above the Earth's 
 called the Critical Zone. This is 
 for sustaining life. The microbes have been called CSP1-3. They could be a 
 part of the process of water 
. Dr James Tiedje said that while soil is responsible for much of the 
 of rainwater, CSP1-3 may also be indispensable. He said: "CSP1-3 are the 
 cleaning up what got through the surface 
 of soil." They have a 
 to do to purify our drinking water.
