摘要: Earth today is a cold planet, with over 80% of its biosphere at temperatures ≤5°C and 10–20% surface frozen. Widely diverse microbes have evolved specific molecular, cellular extracellular adaptations to enable their essential roles in the biogeochemical cycles planet. Those uniquely adapted life ice can inform search for microbial on other icy planets moons.
