Geothermal Biodiversity in Geothermal Fields of Kamchatka peninsula. Terrestrial hot springs in Kamchatka with different temperatures (55-90 C) ans acidity (pH 2.0-8.5) were screened for the presence of thermophilic microorganisms responsible for different anaerobic lithotrophic processes: methanogenesis, acetogenesis, sulfur reduction, anaerobic oxidation of CO, reduction...read more at
