Harvesting Arctic algae
Microorganisms living in the depths of the oceans under conditions unbearable for humans utilize hot springs to produce their energy and substances. Some bacteria and algae feel right at home in the boiling waters of a geyser and others in acid ponds or salt waters. Still others populate glaciers and snow fields. For many years, researchers have... view more... (2002-09-20)
