Enumeration of thermophilic heterotrophs in geothermally heated soils from mount erebus, ross island, antarctica.
Soil samples with temperatures up to 64 degrees C were collected from Mount Erebus, an active volcano located on Ross Island, Antarctica. Acridine orange direct counts and most probable number counts of soil samples stored at 4 degrees C for 2 months showed a wide variation in the number of thermophilic microorganisms in different soils. Organisms similar to Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum, B...
متن کاملgeothermally heated caves for winter hibernation
We report that two species of mouse-tailed bats (Rhinopoma microphyllum and R. cystops) hibernate for five months during winter in geothermally heated caves with stable high temperature (208C). While hibernating, these bats do not feed or drink, even on warm nights when other bat species are active. We used thermo-sensitive transmitters to measure the bats’ skin temperature in the natural hiber...
متن کاملDesulfacinum hydrothermale sp. nov., a thermophilic, sulfate-reducing bacterium from geothermally heated sediments near Milos Island (Greece).
A thermophilic, sulfate-reducing bacterium, strain MT-96T, was isolated from an active, marine, shallow-water hydrothermal vent system. It used a large variety of substrates, ranging from simple organic compounds to long-chain fatty acids, as electron donors. Autotrophic growth was possible with H2 and CO2 in the presence of sulfate. Sulfate, thiosulfate and sulfite were used as electron accept...
متن کاملSmart Control of a Geothermally Heated Bridge Deck
This manuscript describes the “smart” control system designed for a geothermal bridge deck heating system. The control system integrates concepts of model predictive control with a first-principles bridge deck model and hourly computerized National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts to prevent bridge icing without the use of salt or other chemical de-icing materials. The proactive nature of the co...
