Rare opportunity to study short-lived volcanic island reveals sulfur-metabolizing #microbes https://phys.org/news/2023-01-rare-opportunity-short-lived-volcanic-island.html
The Early Microbial Colonizers of a Short-Lived Volcanic Island in the Kingdom of #Tonga https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mbio.03313-22
"We didn't see what we were expecting. We thought we'd see organisms you find when a glacier retreats, or #cyanobacteria, more typical early colonizer species—but instead we found a unique group of #bacteria that metabolize sulfur and atmospheric gases."
