Membrane homeoviscous adaptation in the piezo-hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus barophilus

The archaeon Thermococcus barophilus, one of the most extreme members of hyperthermophilic piezophiles known thus far, is able to grow at temperatures up to 103°C and pressures up to 80MPa. We analyzed the membrane lipids of T. barophilus by HPLC-MS as a function of pressure and temperature. In cont...
