Finding bacteria new to science is like finding a shape of rock new to science.
Only members of the Navel Inspector General Guild of Assistants and Secretaries get to say it.
3 daysFound the article. (or at least it seems to be, given it studies “60 samples of belly buttons” and finds “2368 phylotypes of bacteria”. I don’t see anything in this study about “1458 bacteria completely new to science” or anything about the Japanese soil thing.
It’s entirely possible I’m looking at the wrong study, but generally, it’s a safe assumption that the source for memes like this is a half-remembered telephone game at best.

The belly button is one of the habitats closest to us, and yet it remains relatively unexplored.

I think this article is the source: The Atlantic (archived)
But there’s no oil from Japan, only bacteria found in soil from Japan.
Edit: the website from the research team is still up.

Bacteria aren’t classified as species for a reason, discovering new kind isn’t terribly remarkable.
I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that “bacteria aren’t claasified as species”.
They definitely, definitely are. That “coli” in “E. coli” is its specific name.
Streptococcus mutans, for example, the oral bacteria that metabolizes sugar into lactic acid causing dental carries, is kingdom Bacillati, phylum Bacillota, class Bacilli, order Lactobacillales, family Streptococcaceae, and then obviously genus Streptococcus and species S. mutans.

I block it every time it pops up, which is 5 or 6 times at this point. They all get banned eventually. I recommend using the report button as well.
