German researchers have uncovered complex networks of bacteria and single-celled organisms thriving in nutrient-poor, freeze-dried soils where nothing should survive in Antarctica ’s Larsemann Hills .
They found 2,829 genetically distinct species in soil that, by all conventional measures, should be nearly sterile.
Bacterial diversity was substantially higher than eukaryotic diversity.
Microorganisms with complementary abilities forming partnerships that help each other survive Antarctica 's brutal conditions.
The intricate dance of cooperation that allows life to thrive in Earth ’s most extreme environment may hold valuable lessons for how ecosystems recover from disturbance and perhaps even how life might establish itself beyond our planet.
