Research led by Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, Germany, shows that a terrestrial micro-organism can grow and generate methane in conditions that reproduce the extreme chemistry of the underground ocean of Saturn's Enceladus moon, even with a pH of up to 11. The result does not show that life exists on the satellite, but expands the known conditions under which a microbial metabolism could function outside the Earth.
Two new studies are boosting scientific interest in Enceladus, Saturn's icy moon, as one of the most promising worlds for the search for extraterrestrial life.More...
