ScienceGeothermal amoeba reportedly grows beyond the presumed heat limit for eukaryotes
Cell describes how Incendiamoeba cascadensis withstands extreme heat, shedding light on molecular strategies for survival.
TLDR
A post sharing a Cell paper says Incendiamoeba cascadensis, an amoeba discovered in a geothermal environment, can reproduce at temperatures above the previously assumed survival limit for eukaryotes—organisms whose cells have a nucleus. Cell’s description highlights the study’s insights into molecular strategies for surviving extreme heat.
