So, if you want to learn more about the kinds of life forms that could once have existed – or may still exist – on Mars, this is a good place to look. After much searching under extremely difficult conditions, şÚÁϲ»´ňěČ University researchers have found microbes that have never been identified before.</p> Tue, 21 Jun 2022 13:02:18 +0000 webfull 180639 at /channels /channels/news/making-most-shitty-situation-240881 <p style="text-align:left" align="center">The distinctive “fecal prints” of microbes potentially provide a record of how Earth and life have co-evolved over the past 3.5 billion years as the planet’s temperature, oxygen levels, and greenhouse gases have changed. But, despite more than 60 years of study, it has proved difficult, until now, to “read” much of the information contained in this record. Research from şÚÁϲ»´ňěČ University and Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science, recently published in the <i>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS),</i> sheds light on the mysterious digestive processes of microbes, opening the way towards a better understanding of how life and the planet have changed over time.
