Vegetative life on Venus? or investigations with algae which grow under pure CO2 in hot acid media and at elevated pressures*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
Experiments are described with algae grown in a new environment of pure CO2 under pressure and in an acidic nutrient medium at elevated temperatures. One species found in hot-springs was observed to grow. If the planet Venus has acidic polar seas as we suggest, they may harbor photosynthetic life.
