Microbes survive deep below the seafloor at temperatures up to 120°C

It was thought that microbes in sediments beneath the seafloor died above 80°C, but scientists have found some that can survive up to 120°C and possibly higher temperatures

Shedding light on microbial communities in deep aquifers

Underground in peridotite aquifers, the rock can interact with water to produce hydrogen, which microbes can use to power their cells, research suggests. Yet much of the research on these water-rock...

New today! We show that FeS clusters form spontaneously with just cysteine, Fe and S. The same clusters as those used by cells to reduce CO2. Were they also the first cofactors at the #originoflife ? @NatureComms @oolen_org @uclnews #science #chemistry disq.us/t/41vgqqj
