Growth, physiology, and metabolism of Halomonas meridiana in aqueous ammonium sulfate with implications for icy moon astrobiology

The discovery of extraterrestrial reservoirs of liquid water has motivated missions to icy moons Europa and Titan. Tentative evidence of ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4) has been detected on the surface of Europa, and (NH4)2SO4 could be a prominent constituent of the Titan subsurface ocean. While NH4+ a...
