Deep beneath the driest hot desert on Earth, researchers have discovered an active microbial community that may be surviving by using water found in deposits of gypsum. The authors note that Mars has similar gypsum deposits. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/p7Sy50S2An9

The fascinating work on #Atacama desert #subsurface #microbial communities led by @lhorstma is now published 🦠🧬 Check it out: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/a…

Persistent microbial communities in hyperarid subsurface habitats of the Atacama Desert: Insights...

Abstract. Desert environments constitute one of the largest and yet most fragile ecosystems on Earth. Under the absence of regular precipitation, microorga
