Is there life on Mars? Again Microbes hold the key
Earliest life of single cell evolved into 3 branches having distinct traits. The branches further subdivide into more branches on the evolutionary tree of life called Phylogenetic tree of life. The first three branches are called Bacteria, archaea and Eucaryota. As we can see in this tree, there is a member of archaea family with the name Methanogen. This microbe holds the answer for presence of vast quantities of methane which is trapped inside the ice cages called methane hydrates. These hydrates are found in Earth’s in permafrost regions having very low temperatures or under the deep sea floor. Water… Read More »Is there life on Mars? Again Microbes hold the key
