| ecology of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria in hot acid soils. | hot acid soils in yellowstone national park are rich in elemental sulfur and harbor extensive populations of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. thiobacillus thiooxidans is found at temperatures below 55 c, and at temperatures from 55 to 85 c sulfolobus acidocaldarius is present. the distribution of these bacteria as a function of temperature was measured by a most-probable-number dilution method, and their activity in situ was assessed by use of a new technique permitting measurement of (14)co(2) fixati ... | 1972 | 4559726 |

| geysers spawn hot new nanotechnology. | the article reports on efforts by nasa scientists to build nanostructures from thermophilic cyanobacteria living in hot springs. heat shock protein 60 (hsp60) is purified and engineered to serve as a substrate for quantum dots that are about 1-10 nm across, much smaller than the typical 130 nm found in standard computer chips. | 2003 | 12641129 |
| virus movement maintains local virus population diversity. | viruses are the largest reservoir of genetic material on the planet, yet little is known about the population dynamics of any virus within its natural environment. over a 2-year period, we monitored the diversity of two archaeal viruses found in hot springs within yellowstone national park (ynp). both temporal phylogeny and neutral biodiversity models reveal that virus diversity in these local environments is not being maintained by mutation but rather by high rates of immigration from a globall ... | 2007 | 18025457 |
| isolation and distribution of a novel iron-oxidizing crenarchaeon from acidic geothermal springs in yellowstone national park. | novel thermophilic crenarchaea have been observed in fe(iii) oxide microbial mats of yellowstone national park (ynp); however, no definitive work has identified specific microorganisms responsible for the oxidation of fe(ii). the objectives of the current study were to isolate and characterize an fe(ii)-oxidizing member of the sulfolobales observed in previous 16s rrna gene surveys and to determine the abundance and distribution of close relatives of this organism in acidic geothermal springs co ... | 2008 | 18083851 |
