Thermautotrophicus can grow over a temperature span of 55°C, the record of the widest (measured) temperature span over which a microorganism can grow, and thus, in classification of Wiegel, is a temperature-tolerant thermophile (Wiegel, 1990). C. , 1994). A second exemplary case is the recent isolation of the alkalithermophilic T. , 1996). Interestingly, from the many obtained strains for this species, those isolated from mesobiotic environments have doubling times below 20 min and as low as 10 min, whereas isolates from hot springs have doubling times Ͼ30 min (Wiegel, unpublished).

Lipids present within the membranes of prokaryotes can be diagnostic for various types of microorganisms and have provided insight into the distribution of microorganisms among different environments. For example, analysis of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) from selected hot springs in Nevada revealed the presence of the archaeal lipid crenarchaeol, previously found only in low-temperature, marine environments. , 2004). , 2006). CONCLUSIONS As described above, thermal environments are an amazing reservoir of biodiversity.
