Extremophile microbes thrive in Earth’s harshest places, maybe beyond
Microbes that flourish in boiling hydrothermal vents, bone-dry desert sediments, and radiation-blasted Antarctic rock are forcing scientists to rethink where life can and cannot exist. These ...
It is possible that extremophile microbes lcould exist on icy moons and planets with conditions similar to subglacial waters or the ocean floor.
