Taxonomic and functional analyses of intact microbial communities thriving in extreme, astrobiology-relevant, anoxic sites

Alexandra Kristin Bashir et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the characteristics and functions of microbial communities in extreme analogue environments, revealing their strong dependence on complex organic matter and impressive survival mechanisms. Additionally, a group of poly-extremophiles thriving in all study sites was identified. Furthermore, the presence of a core microbiome and microbial taxonomic similarities in extreme environments were highlighted.
