Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park. The water temperature stays around 160 ยฐF (70 ยฐC). The bright colors are produced by thermophiles, a type of extremophile, that adapts to thrive in these temperatures and hotter.

If very high temperature kills bacteria, then thermophiles (bacteria found in places with extreme temperature) are fucking immortals.

Does anything eat thermophiles?

I am curious if thermophiles are eaten by anything or give off a waste that is eaten.

Thermophiles

As mentioned before there are many hydrothermal vents doted around Edalyth that spew out commands (like Sulfur) that could be used by life for energy. This is were the Thermophiles come in, these are single celled organisms that evolved to survive the extreme heat and use the minerals for energy (they could oxidize Sulfur/carbon). I am going to name the clade of Thermophiles lava comedenti (lava eaters) just because its awesome.

some of lava comedenti's adaptions in order to survive high temperatures are:
Ether linkages
Lipid bilayer
S-layer
and others I am not qualified or well read to list.

I would expect theme to be eaten by the Kaminadazoans.

Feel free to correct me if I said something incorrect or are able to improve on what I said.

The last universal common ancestor (LUCA) was likely a photosynthetic eubacteria who lived 3.5 billion years ago or so. Archaebacteria, previously thought to be more similar to LUCA--especially thermophiles living near deep sea hydrothermal vents--probably only evolved around a billion years ago. link.springer.com/articleโ€ฆ

Three kinds of compost: Thermophilic, Mesophilic, and Vermicompost

Thermophilic - as the name would imply, this is compost created through the breakdown of organic matter by bacteria that survive in high temperatures and create a large amount of heat from their metabolism. Temperatures from a high-performing pile should be in the 105-140*F (40-60*C) range, although an uncontrolled thermophilic pile could reach temperatures approaching 220*F if left unturned. These temperatures are considered undesirable as they kill off the natural immune system of the compost pile, essentially sterilizing it and allowing opportunistic pathogens to potentially colonize and take your pile in the wrong direction. The idea of compost is to collect indigenous microorganisms and use them to process organic material down, not to create a semi-pasteurized pile of material that peters-out before becoming usable soil.

Mesophilic - this compost is usually the byproduct of thermophilic compost once the majority of the nitrogen-consuming bacteria have broken down the greens; mesophilic compost can also be created without a thermophilic stage, but takes significantly longer due to the lower temperatures not assisting in destroying the cell walls of the organic material and slower reactions of key enzymes and organic acids. Bacteria and fungi do the majority of the decomposition in this phase, and these decomposers are what feed the worms and other animals present in the soil

Vermicompost - this is the name for compost that has been processed through the digestive system of worms and other soil-consuming creatures. Worms do not actually eat the soil or the decaying matter itself, but rather pass these materials through their gut with inorganic grit to assist with the breakdown and maceration of fine particles. The worms' digestive enzymes break down the organic decomposers present in the soil, other living organisms such as nematodes, protozoans, rotifers, bacteria, and fungi; they also consume some of the organic matter that passes through their gut, but their actual purpose is more as a super-predator to microscopic organisms than as an actual consumer of the material in the soil itself. Their digestive enzymes change the water solubility and chemical composition of what they intake, making nutrients plant-available, but also locking up certain nutrients by making them water insoluble. This process is fundamentally what makes the biggest difference between feeding your plants 'plain old' mesophilic compost versus true vermicompost.

Just want someone to find it. Angle havenโ€™t seen yet is Thermophiles which Yellowstone is famous for...

Thermophiles can be categorized by color...

โ€œOrange brown and green thermophiles thrive in cooler waters.โ€

https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/nature/thermophilic-bacteria.htm

Calothrix 30โ€“45ยฐC (86โ€“113ยฐF) /Dark brown mats /Photosynthesis by day; fermentation by night /Mammoth Hot Springs; Upper, Midway, and Lower geyser basin

Chocolate Pots fits and as far as google allows me to know was only searched once by Dal and probably only because of the name โ€œChocolate.โ€

Assuming no special knowledge a child could identify these places as homes of Brown from the color.

More locations: Mammoth Hot Springs, Upper midway, Lower Geyser Basin

1.Midway Geyser basin (same as โ€œUpper Midwayโ€?) includes Grand Prismatic Spring but it is mostly blues and greens.

2.Lower Geyser Basin: Fountain Paint Pot & Silex Spring too colorful

3.Mammoth Hot Springs fits. As do Chocolate Pots. And Mud Volcano area. And Norris Geyser Basin: โ€œAs you approach the basin on the bridge, the first thing you see is brown. Specifically, the orange-brown of bacterial growth, fed by a torrent of water pouring off the basin and into the Firehole.โ€

More info https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/nature/thermophilic-communities.htm

Norris Geyser Basin and Mud Volcano Area: <60ยฐC (140ยฐF), filamentous bacteria and archaea form red brown mats.

Some more http://tbi.montana.edu/LivingColors.html

UPDATE: Definitely do not go off trail near thermal features. Kind of assumed everyone who knows about Yellowstone knows about the people whose bodies have been completely dissolved but maybe not...

Since thermophiles, like other microorganisms, are mostly water, how are some of them able to survive in above boiling temperatures?

I don't have a source for my assumption that all microorganisms are mostly water, but I feel like I learned that in school. Is this assumption wrong?

Contrary to several predictions, it turns out that thermophiles have no more disulfide bonds than mesophiles or other types of bacteria. Can someone explain why this is?

[Gourmet] Thermophile oysters?

Looking for heat-loving oyster species that can thrive in Florida summers (average 28C or 82F, high humidity).

So far I know about

Pleurotus djamor (pink)

Pleurotus cornucopiae (yellow)

Pleurotus ostreatus var. Florida (native to my area)

Pleurotus citrinopileatus (golden)

Pleurotus pulmonarius (phoenix)

Any others? Preferably ones that do well in either a bag or a log. Housing them outdoors in the shade

Ok to age these?/ Is the rind ok? Both are washed curd recipes/ pseudo-Gouda, the first has a mesophillic starter and the second a thermophilic starter. Both are rock salted the second has black pepper in it. The pepper was added to the curd at the time of pressing. reddit.com/gallery/qopkbz

Edible or not? This is a thermophillic washed curd cheese I made and aged over the past 4 weeks. Part of it is sticky and on smelling it I'm unsure if its safe to eat. The black spots are black pepper I tossed in for flavor. The cheese tasted really good 24 hours after pressing.

[COTD] Thermophiles | 24 Mar, 2020

Previous COTD

Today's card is Thermophiles (#253):

Active card (Blue) | Venus Next expansion

Cost: 9 | Requirements: 6% Venus | Tags: Venus, Microbe

Action: Add 1 microbe to any Venus card, or spend 2 microbes here to raise Venus 1 step.

My thoughts: A decent card for Venus strategies and alternative TR. It's a bit slow, but can give around 3 TR, which also means 3 VP. When you have another Venus microbe card, they can be used together. Add 1 microbe to the other Venus card, then use that action. It pairs nicely with Viron (prolonged benefits) and Splice (instantaneous benefits).
