@xtream-project.euA turquoise lake inside an active volcano sounds like a dream escape. Until you learn what's in the water: high acidity, ~100ºC and heavy metals.
Would you take a dip? #Extremophiles wouldn't mind. 🌋🦠
El Chichón, Mexico: proof that life persists anywhere.
Lungfish Estivates Years Without Water African lungfish survive drought by burrowing into mud in a mucus cocoon. They enter estivation — dramatically slowing metabolism — and can go up to 4 years without food or water until rains return. #science #lungfish #estivation #extremophiles
@sciencescandal.com🔥 A microbe thriving in extreme heat is not new.
A EUKARYOTE growing and dividing at 145°F absolutely is. 😳
How does a complex cell keep its machinery working at that temperature?

@hyperadar.bsky.socialUne amibe qui vit à 145°F, nouveau record eucaryote ! Découverte dans les sources chaudes de Lassen, elle se déplace même à 147°F. Ses gènes stabilisent l'ADN sous la chaleur. 🔥🦠
