june 17, 2020
earth is full of extreme environments. the poles boast temperatures below -40 degrees celsius; the deep trenches of the oceans inflict pressures a thousand times higher than at sea level; and deep-sea hydrothermal vents belch out sulphur and carbon dioxide, heating the surrounding water up to 450 degrees celsius. despite the extreme conditions, microbes have found ways to adapt to these niche environments.
