Prokaryotic cells of the deep sub-seafloor biosphere identified as living bacteria

Digging deep for bacteria Sediments beneath the seafloor do not sound a promising habitat, yet it has been estimated from microscopic cell counts that sub-seafloor sediments account for over half of all eukaryotic cells on Earth. That figure does not differentiate live cells from dead, but a new stu...
