‘Life in the Earth’s hot, dark crust’
It is estimated that 20% of Earth’s microbes live in Earth’s crust. How do these microbes live there? What do they eat? Do they cooperate with one another or compete for resources? What can they teach us about origin of life and life on other planets?
Presenter Begüm Topçuoğlu loves microbes and their impact on Earth, and completed her PhD on this topic.
