We only considered glycine fermentation.
There are lots of other molecules that could be yummy microbe food (naphthalene is my favorite). But we only had really really good numbers for terrestrial microbes for glycine at low temperatures and high pressures. So that's a data issue.
(The article is a call-out for low T, high P, microbiology experiments for funky metabolisms).
