Ötzi's frozen remains may harbour metabolically active microbes

Ancient microbes on Ötzi remain metabolically active despite -6°C conservation; the yeast Glaciozyma increased from 2010-2019, indicating ongoing replication in cold storage. Regular genomic surveillance becomes necessary to prevent specimen degradation, establishing new protocols for archaeological and long-term biological preservation.
