🔥📣 New preprint out! So glad to share this chapter of my PhD thesis with the #thermophiles and #polyhydroxyalkanoate community!

⁉️What did we do --> We built a bioinformatics pipeline to scan thermophilic genomes for phaC, the key gene for bioplastic production.

Discovery of stromatolite-like biofilms in thermal waters sheds light on ancient ecosystems Hungarian researchers have discovered unique bacterial communities in thermal waters that may help unravel the development of stromatolites, one of Earth's oldest rock formations. These findings not o...

Hot springs bubble up insights into microbe communities Boiling hot water bubbles up into pools of vibrant teal and blue. The steam rises, burning anyone who gets too close. The water is acidic—sometimes as acidic as stomach acid. Microbes in a hot spring ...

Something breathtaking has just been pulled from the steaming springs of Yellowstone National Park — BBC Wildlife Magazine Researchers say that what they found in the thermal springs could help them understand how ancient life adapted to an oxygen-filled world. February 6, 2025 Scientists in the US have uncovered fresh in...

“Cool” stuff 😉🔥

Ropy Interesting thermophiles in the Snake River Basin.

I have become fond of #backcountry #hydrothermal areas. They have few showy #geysers - the park built roads to those - but a greater variety of features, #chemistry, #temperatures, and #thermophiles.

This one's from the #SnakeRiver Basin.

RED+GREEN week continues with a photo of communities of #thermophiles coloring some #Yellowstone #thermal outflow brick red and lime green.

Continuing with my personal #photography theme for the week (GREEN), here’s Lemonade Creek, which is the outflow from the Amphitheater Springs thermal area, #YellowstoneNationalPark.

Eukaryotic “Zygogonium” algae is a photosynthetic organism that in bright sunlight produces a very dark purple pigment. Zygogonium forms mats/clots of hair-like filaments that “wave” in the rippling waters of #YellowstoneNationalPark #thermal outflow. #thermalgeek #thermophiles

Just some thermophiles to brighten your day!
