Methane Photosynthesis
#12
Reading over the paper again, the author postulates that instead of using carbohydrates or fats as energy storage, life in this biosphere could gain energy from metabolizing DMSP and turning it into DMS. Plankton preying on phytoplankton do this on earth.

Anyone else think this could be viable? or exist in other biospheres like Muu or Softones?
Ever make mistakes in life? Let's make them birds. Yeah, they're birds now.
