Life at high temperatures
Brock TD. Life at high temperatures. Yellowstone Association for Natural Science, History & Education, Inc
Deals with the living organisms in Yellowstone National Park, and their great economic impact on society. There are microorganisms that live in the boiling waters and run-off channels of the geysers and hot springs. Although their color is visible to the naked eye, an individual microbial cell is so small as to be completely invisible. The microorganisms of the hot springs are mostly bacteria, but at the lower temperatures algae and protozoa are also present.
