Terraforming #Mars toward sustainable #life-supporting ecosystems poses unprecedented challenges.

Extremophilic #microbes, which thrive in Earth’s most extreme environments, offer promising biological strategies for initial Mars #colonization providing tools for resource mobilization and atmospheric engineering.

Experimental evidence on microbial survival in Mars-simulated conditions highlights the ecological roles of extremophilic microbial consortia in biogeochemical cycling.

Thwre is a need to shift focus from single-#species assessments to complex, synergistically interacting microbial communities, which may hold the key to establishing self-sustaining extraterrestrial biospheres.

Soil bacteria help plants withstand drought through 'legacy effects' Free

The researchers hope that their study will help farmers and agriculturalists develop a better understanding on how this memory can assist drought affected soil.

"But they were unaware that the great majority of the #biota, perhaps 99%, easily streamed through the holes of their nets; the holes were simply too big to capture these microbes. Even when membrane flters and microscopy were used, and they revealed great diversity of #microplankton and #nanoplankton, most #microbes evaded detection. The view of the pelagic web of life that emerged and became entrenched for a century was then based on a tiny fraction of marine biota."
