, has been found to flourish in oxygen-rich water plumes hundreds of meters away from volcanic vents on the Earth’s ocean floors.
Astronomers believe these observations might further our understanding of the forms of alien life on these moons.The newly discovered bacteria belongs to a family of bacteria that thrives in the Earth’s volcanic vents as it cannot tolerate high oxygen levels in water elsewhere.had gone through unique genetic changes that allowed it to adapt to the broad range of environments in the Earth’s oceans.
Scientists found that the organism mainly used hydrogen to multiply, thanks to a genetic change that made the bacterium capable of getting energy from many sources. Scientists have previously suggested that Saturn’s moon Enceladus might be a prime candidate for signs ofObservations made by Nasa’s Cassini mission which ended in 2017, showed the small moon contained an ice-covered ocean that erupts into space, forming plumes that contain most of the basic ingredients for life.
