do thermophiles generate their own heat?

No. How would they do that as small colonies? Why would they do that, because they live in warm thermal sources. Cheers, SvenAERTS (talk) 01:19, 19 August 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

details expected

[edit ]

I came to this article after watching Volcanoes of the Deep Sea where they mention these creatures being found deep within mid-ocean hydrothermal vents. There were many amazing assertions about them, including they are found thousands of feet below the mid-ocean ridge volcanoes, that they contain DNA, and imply that they thrive in temperatures greater than 700 °F (371 °C). None of these seem to jive with the current state of the article.

  • Is the temperature range correct?
  • How did they find these creatures inside volcanic tubes and fissures?
  • What kind of lifespan do thermophiles have?
  • How do they reproduce?
  • Do they depend on other creatures to metabolize sulfur (or whatever makes them go)?
  • Do they use the heat directly? (Or are they simply adapted to live in it?)
  • Are these really related to the Mickey Hot Springs creatures in 60 °C (140 °F)?
