Responses to the Hydrostatic Pressure of Surface and Subsurface Strains of Pseudothermotoga elfii Revealing the Piezophilic Nature of the Strain Originating From an Oil-Producing Well

Responses to the Hydrostatic Pressure of Surface and Subsurface Strains of Pseudothermotoga elfii Revealing the Piezophilic Nature of the Strain Originating From an Oil-Producing Well

Microorganisms living in deep-oil reservoirs face extreme conditions of elevated temperature and hydrostatic pressure. Within these microbial communities, members of the order Thermotogales are predominant. Among them, the genus Pseudothermotoga is widespread in oilfield-produced waters. The growth...
