[UC Riverside researchers have identified tiny organisms that not only survive but thrive during the first year after a wildfire. The findings could help bring land back to life after fires that are increasing in both size and severity.]

[Laughing gas is no laughing matter nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas with 300 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide. Scientists are racing to learn whether microorganisms send more of it into the atmosphere after wildfires.]
Researchers believe there are several extremely tough microbes around nowadays that are capable of surviving in outer space even down below, however a species of germs found in a latest research is perhaps the greatest and remarkably resilient hitherto.
We know that there are some truly hardy microorganisms out there – able to survive in deep space and deep underground, for example – but a group of microbes identified in a new study might be the most impressively robust yet.
