It would prove that life arose at least twice,

What kind of bacteria would they be? Maybe similar to Earth bacteria, maybe not.
If they live in a super harsh environment, maybe they've developed survival techniques, usually chemical response in simple life.
Exotic chemicals, cures for diseases, or for energy, or vaccines.
Or maybe just a simple cement that changes the way we build things. Who knows?
or maybe they just produce noxious gas, and smell like crap..
It's worth finding out, in my opinion, just to know.
