Back on the boat, Craig told me a little more about his forays to collect thermophiles on the ocean floor. |
The author concluded that the alleviation in bowel symptoms was attributable to Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Streptococcus thermophiles. |
Organisms that thrive in hot environments, known as thermophiles, would have fared better than anything that needed lower temperatures, says Sumner. |
As described above, the molecular machinery of thermophiles works in ways we don't yet completely understand. |
Psychrophiles, or organisms that live in extreme cold, were found, along with heat-loving thermophiles, which suggests the presence of hydrothermal vents deep in the lake. |
Thermophiles like New Orleanians, are beautifully alive despite, or perhaps because of, their inhospitable climate. |
