The rusticles are formed by living organisms.

锈块是由生物形成的。

In the lab, they x-ray pieces of rusticle recovered from the ship.

在实验室里，他们用 x 光扫描了从船上回收的锈块碎片。

Over time, microbes feeding off the iron of the ship have formed icicle-shaped " rusticles" and are speeding up the deterioration of the wreck.

随着时间的推移，以船上铁为食的微生物形成了冰柱状的“铁锈”，加速了沉船的劣化。

We found five different communities of bacteria living inside of rusticles and then you've got another community living on the outside, makes them a very complex little beast.

我们发现了五个不同的细菌群落生活在锈块里，然后另一个群落生活在外面，使它们成为一只非常复杂的小野兽。

The bacteria would have taken girders and basically had encrusted them in rusticles and deteriorating to the point of being a pile of iron ore at the bottom of the seafloor.

细菌会带走大梁，基本上用粗糙的外壳包裹它们，并恶化成为海底底部的一堆铁矿石。
