Abstract

Many hyperthermophiles can adapt to near starvation conditions, according to a study of Thermococcus and Thermotoga spp in the Kubiki oil reservoir in Japan. Fault blocks in the reservoir prevented the flow of nutrients, which did not affect Thermococcus concentrations but led to a decrease in Thermotoga cell density.
