Exact excerpt

Here, we show that simulated Enceladus’ ocean chemistry containing high concentrations of dissolved inorganic carbon and H2 from mineral-water reactions enables growth of the chemolithoautotroph H2-oxidizing methanogen Methanothermococcus okinawensis until pH 11, far exceeding its previously known pH limit.
