Jakarta - Starting from the bacteria that will survive in stone until the microbes that can withstand in heat, cold and radiation extraordinary, life can have an extreme form.
These creatures seemed to say: it is not only capable of living on Earth as well as in elsewhere in the universe. Here are some examples of amazing creatures, the so-called extremophile.
Dunaliela Algae
The organism is found in 2010 in a cave in the desert of Atacama, Chile. These organisms can survive in conditions of very little water. Despite living in the driest parts of the Earth, these microbes grown on cobwebs to capitalize on the dew.
Hyperthermophiles
This species is a species that can survive in an environment of extreme heat. The genus Aquifex these bacteria can be found in hot springs in Yellowstone National Park that has a temperature of 96 degrees Celsius.
Thermococcus
These microbes are able to survive with very little energy. In fact, until now, used chemical reactions of these microbes could be used to maintain life.
The organism is found near deep-sea hydrothermal vents where superheated water out of the Earth's crust near Papua New Guinea. Adding a highly efficient energy use in these microbes, these microbes can survive at extreme temperatures that can not hold another creature.
Halophilic
Salt-resistant microorganisms are able to withstand salt concentrations that can dry most of life. For example, bacteria Halobacterium Halobium. These bacteria are capable of living in an environment that has 10 times the salinity of sea water.
Psychrophiles
These microbes are found in the ice, glaciers, and deep water at the poles. These microbes are able to withstand cold temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius. Fungi and algae are mostly contains enzymes that adapts to low temperatures. These microbes are found in Antarctica and the Arctic ocean and under ice lepisa Siberia.
Deinococcus Radiodurans
Extreme species is proving to coat them able to withstand the intense radiation. These bacteria can survive from 15 thousand doses of dash radiation. As is known, a dose of 10 gray of radiation can kill humans.
In fact, this species can also survive in more extreme conditions. Including cold, dehydration, vacuum and acid. Guinness Book of World Records as the bacteria these bacteria enter the world's strongest.
Endoliths
These organisms are capable of living in the stone or other places that are considered can not be a place to live, like the pores in mineral grains. This species is found three miles below the Earth's surface and many of them live in deeper water.
Water is very difficult to find at these depths, but some of the study indicates, these organisms eat the iron, potassium, or sulfur around. In addition, these organisms are also known to hold in wind and solar radiation.
Loriciferian
A newly discovered creature is not included in the species of the genus Spinoloricus terdeskripsikan. This creature has a special organelles that enable it to survive without oxygen.[inilah.com]
