On Costa Rica in a hydrothermal lake crater of  Volcan Paos were found microbes which can survive on the Mars. According to Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Science the discovery was performed by scientists of the Colorado University .

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.
