Available now: Natrarchaeobius oligotrophus (DSM 119936).
It grows where few lifeforms can survive — in water loaded with 200 g of salt per litre and at pH 9.5.
A true champion of survival, now open for scientific exploration!

Universe Today has conducted some incredible examinations regarding a plethora of scientific fields, including impact craters, planetary surfaces, exoplanets, astrobiology, solar physics, comets, planetary atmospheres, planetary geophysics, cosmochemistry, meteorites, and radio astronomy, and how these disciplines can help scientists and the public gain greater insight into searching for life beyond Earth. Here, we will discuss the immersive field of extremophiles with Dr. Ivan … Continue reading "Extremophiles: Why study them? What can they teach us about finding life beyond Earth?"
An article in #QuantaMagazine describes an exciting #discovery. Oxygen-producing #bacteria are living hundreds of metres underground. Their oxygen fuels a whole microbial ecosystem. They break oxygen off nitrite molecules without needing sunlight!
"The microbes generate and release so much of what the researchers call “dark oxygen” that it’s like discovering “the scale of oxygen coming from the photosynthesis in the Amazon rainforest.”"
