A former goldmine serves as a gateway to explore microbial life deep within the Earth's crust. If you totaled the mass of all microbes dwelling beneath the Earth's surface, their combined biomass would surpass that of all life in our oceans. However, due to the challenge of accessing these depth
<p>Researchers characterize nearly 600 microbial genomes collected from goldmine. The study illuminates ‘microbial dark matter’ residing below the surface. Microbes divide into two groups: minimalists that have one, specialized job or maximalists that are prepared to use any available resource. Study has implications for how underground activities, like mining and carbon storage, could affect or be affected by microbial life. The lifestyle of these ‘intraterrestrial’ microbes also provides hints to what organisms could be living on other planets</p>
