Temperature-Sensitive Lipids Reveal Intraspecific Diversity in Bacteria Isolated from an Ancient Antarctic Microbial Mat - Microbial Ecology Ancient Antarctic microbial mats harbour viable bacteria that have been exposed to extreme cold and arid conditions for hundreds of years. To delve into the molecular mechanisms underlaying their surv...

📢 Antarctic bacteria isolated from a 1000-years-old microbial mat 🦠❄️ exhibit a diverse lipid composition, a probable key to their survival for years of temperature fluctuations.

Los meteoritos del desierto de Atacama se han convertido en refugios para microorganismos terrestres En una reciente investigación, los autores han analizado el meteorito El Médano 464 para determinar si su material orgánico es de origen terrestre o extraterrestre.

¿Los meteoritos que caen a la Tierra 🌍☄️se contaminan con organismos terrestres🦠? Os mostramos los hallazgos de nuestro último trabajo con el meteorito EM 464, encontrado en el desierto de Atacama🏜️🥵 #IMDEA_Agua #C_Astrobiologia #UAtacama #ULBruxelles
