Methane-producing Microbes Could Survive the Low Pressure and Extremely Thin Air of Mars, Study Suggests
A new study carried out by researchers from the Arkansas Center for Space and Planetary Sciences (ACSPS) at the University of Arkansas suggests that some terrestrial organisms such as methanogens (the methane-producing microbes) could survive the extremely thin air of Mars. The detailed findings of the study, titled “Low Pressure Tolerance by Methanogens in an […]
