Bacillus firmus

Bacillus firmus is a species of bacteria within the genus Bacillus. Some strains of this species are very alkaline-tolerant and may grow in environments with pH as high as 11.[2]

gollark: I have never heard of this person and I dislike being told that I should be ashamed for not knowing someone.
gollark: Oh, for making air not free I figure there's a simpler way than removing half the oxygen. Just introduce large amounts of some bad poison.
gollark: That's *probably* easier than somehow drilling to the mantle/core and then reacting the iron there with oxygen.
gollark: The problem is that either way you need a lot of stuff to react all the oxygen with, or to send it off into space somehow.
