Montana State University scientists discovered new methane-producing microbes in Yellowstone's thermal features, offering insights for life elsewhere and climate change mitigation.
Scientists at Montana State University discovered two new groups of microbes in Yellowstone National Park's thermal features that produce methane, offering insights into potential life elsewhere in our solar system and ways to mitigate climate change. The findings were published in Nature and verified by MSU researchers, revealing the first known examples of single-celled organisms outside the Euryarchaeota lineage that produce methane.
