Microbes that feed on hydrogen found living beneath glaciers - but where's the hydrogen coming from? -- Science & Technology -- Sott.net
© MSU Montana State University graduate student Eric Dunham. Using years' worth of data collected from ice-covered habitats all over the world, a Montana State University team has discovered new insights into the processes that support microbial life underneath ice sheets and glaciers, and the role those organisms play in perpetuating life through ice ages and, perhaps, in seemingly inhospitable environments on other planets. Doctoral candidate Eric Dunham of MSU's Department of Microbiology and Immunology in the College of Agriculture, along with mentor Eric Boyd, published their findings i...
