Heat Tolerance of Methanogens: Implications for the Possibility of Lithopanspermia
Abstract
If methanogens are trapped within a meteoroid that is at least 1 m in size, and the interior temperature does not exceed 100C for 1 hr., then there is no reason to believe that these methanogens could not be transported from one planet to another.
