极端微生物

Extremophiles are organisms that thrive in extreme environments, such as high temperatures or pressures.
极端耐受生物是在极端条件下（如高温或高压）生存的生物。
Many scientists study extremophiles to understand生命的 limits and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe.
许多科学家研究极端耐受生物来了解生命极限，以及宇宙中其他地方存在生命的可能性。
Thermophiles, for instance, are bacteria that love heat, often found in hot springs.
例如，嗜热菌就是喜欢高温的细菌，常常在温泉中被发现。
Methanogens are extremophiles that convert carbon dioxide into methane, contributing to the greenhouse effect.
甲烷菌是将二氧化碳转化为甲烷的极端耐受生物，对温室效应有影响。
Hyperthermophiles can survive at temperatures above 100°C, making them crucial in industrial processes like biofuel production.
高温嗜热菌能在100摄氏度以上生存，这对生物燃料生产等工业过程至关重要。
Acidophiles, on the other hand, flourish in acidic environments, such as deep sea hydrothermal vents.
另一方面，酸性耐受生物则能在酸性环境中茁壮，比如深海热液喷口。
Some extremophiles have unique adaptations, like the ability to withstand freezing temperatures or high radiation levels.
有些极端耐受生物有独特的适应能力，比如抵抗极低温度或高辐射的能力。
Researchers are studying extremophiles to develop more robust and resilient enzymes for industrial applications.
研究人员正在研究极端耐受生物以开发更强大和抗逆的酶，用于工业用途。
Extreme environments on Earth, like Antarctica's icy tundra, may also harbor undiscovered extremophiles.
地球上的一些极端环境，如南极的冰冻苔原，可能隐藏着未被发现的极端耐受生物。
The discovery of extremophiles has challenged our understanding of what it means to be "alive" under non-conventional conditions.
发现极端耐受生物已经挑战了我们对非传统环境下“生命”的定义。
