Microbes live in ultra-acidic water with a high number of toxic metals, the water temperature sometimes can reach a boiling point.

As sequence analysis shows the water organisms Acidiphilium own a quite wide range of biochemical properties. That is the main factor helping microbes survive in extreme inviroment.
