Researchers at Eurac Research analyzed samples from Ötzi's skin, stomach, tissues, and surrounding water, uncovering three layers of microbes: ancient gut bacteria from his Copper Age life, cold-adapted yeasts from the glacier that show signs of slow growth even in museum storage at -6°C, and modern contaminants. These yeasts, like Glaciozyma watsonii, were cultured in the lab, revealing Ötzi as a dynamic ecosystem rather than a static relic.
