Microbiologists at the Ohio State University have found that the ancient bacteria and their phages (bacteria-infecting viruses) from Tibetan glacier ice likely originated with soil or plants, not with animals or humans. Glacier ice archives information, including microbiology, that helps reveal paleoclimate histories and predict future climate change. The first reports of glacier-ice microbes appeared […]Read More
