Back on the boat, Craig told me a little more about his forays to collect thermophiles on the ocean floor. |
The genome of halobacterium and thermophiles will give insight into new sorts of biochemistry. |
For example, thermophiles are organisms that live under conditions of extreme high temperature. |
Extremophiles living in very hot temperatures like those in hot springs are called thermophiles. |
As described above, the molecular machinery of thermophiles works in ways we don't yet completely understand. |
Notable groups of Archaea include thermophiles and hyperthermophiles, halophiles, and methanogens. |
