Blue, dark peach, bright red, orange — thermophilic organisms make the hot springs so colorful you’ll want to grab your selfie stick. Some organisms really thrive in the heat. In the geysers of ...

Warm-blooded creatures maintain a relatively stable body temperature that cannot tolerate the stress of intense heat (or cold). When it's too hot proteins destabilize and degrade--in some cases, with ...

Heat-loving organisms live where the water is hot but the gene pool is shallow. Genetic analysis has shown that so-called thermophiles have fewer mutations in their protein-coding genes than do their ...

Confirmation of the genome structure of 256 recently discovered micro-organisms from particularly high-temperature environments in Korea will boost the nation's biotech industry, according to the ...

A new study shows how cranking up the heat causes cell death through the loss of a subset of key proteins. Workflow of the LiP-MS-based analysis of protein stability (1). Thermophiles thrive at ...

The most dangerous thing in Yellowstone National Park isn't bears, bison, wolves, or cougars - it's thousands of hydrothermal features. These beautiful yet deadly features are scattered around the ...

You report that mitochondria operate at temperatures around 6 to 10° C higher than the rest of the cell (13 May, p 18). There is a broad consensus that the mitochondria within eukaryotic cells are the ...
