Description
Life On The Edge of Hot Springs In Yellowstone by Debra Martz The billions of colorful microorganisms lining the hot springs' runoff channels are called extremophiles because they live in conditions that were once thought to be too extreme to host life. Extremophiles that live in hot springs are called thermophiles, heat-loving microorganisms. ("thermo" for heat, "phile" for lover) These microbes contain colorful pigments that allow them to make energy from sunlight and thrive in the harsh conditions of hot springs.
