Aquatic Thermal Reservoirs of Microbial Life in a Remote and Extreme High Andean Hydrothermal System

Aquatic Thermal Reservoirs of Microbial Life in a Remote and Extreme High Andean Hydrothermal System

Hydrothermal systems are ideal to understand how microbial communities cope with challenging conditions. Lirima, our study site, is a polyextreme, high-altitude, hydrothermal ecosystem located in the Chilean Andean highlands. Herein, we analyze the benthic communities of three nearby springs in a gr...
