This WEEK ON "ROCKIT SCIENCE": ABLE TO THRIVE IN CONDITIONS DANGEROUS TO MOST LIFE FORMS, THEY'RE THE EXTREMOPHILES! EARTH'S MIGHTIEST ORGANISMS!
ACIDOPHILES CAN LIVE IN HIGHLY ACIDIC ENVIRONMENTS.
WASTE TREATMENT PLANT
Acidophiles : "HOME SWEET HOME!"
THERMOPHILES ENJOY TEMPERATURES ABOVE 140 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.
HOT SPRINGS
Thermophiles : "IT'S NOT THE HEAT, IT'S THE HUMIDITY!"
RADIORESISTANT ORGANISMS TOLERATE RADIATION 500 TIMES THE LETHAL DOSE FOR HUMANS.
CHERNOBYL
Radioresistant : "NICE PLACE.'
BAROPHILES ENJOY EXTREMELY HIGH PRESSURE LIVING DEEP ON THE OCEAN FLOOR UNDER ALMOST 7 MILES OF WATER.
Barophiles : "NO PRESSURE!"
POLYEXTREMOPHILES - LIKE THE TINY WATER BEAR - CAN TOLERATE MULTIPLE KINDS OF EXTREME CONDITIONS, INCLUDING TEMPERATURES FROM MINUS 328 TO PLUS 304 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE NEAR-VACUUM OF SPACE, 1,200 TIMES ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE, EXTREME DEHYDRATION AND RADIATION.
Polyextremophiles : "AND I CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT A SMART-PHONE!"
THEY TEACH US TO SEARCH FOR LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE WHERE CONVENTIONAL ORGANISMS COULD NOT SURVIVE.
Extremophile : "YOU FEELING OK, EARTHLING?"
