Minimalist or maximalist? The life of a #microbe a mile underground
https://phys.org/news/2023-11-minimalist-maximalist-life-microbe-mile.html paper: https://ami-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1462-2920.16543
Magdalena Osburn: "The deep subsurface #biosphere is enormous; it's just a vast amount of space... Many of the #microbes we found were either minimalist: ultra-streamlined with one job that it does very well alongside a close consortium of collaborators, or it can do a little bit of everything. These maximalists are ready for every resource that comes along."
Minimalist or maximalist? The life of a microbe a mile underground
If you added up all the microbes living deep below Earth's surface, the amount of biomass would outweigh all life within our oceans.Amanda Morris (Phys.org)

This #research used stable isotope probing (SIP) to demonstrate that the bacterium digests plastics (to CO2), and also incorporates the plastic's carbon into its biomass.
Cool study! So we may be feeding specific organisms with our plastic waste. What may this mean for microbial #ecology? An #impact for sure, but the scale remains elusive..
