anu2016 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 For a science project, I was looking for a bacteria that would last on surfaces for a long time, in low humidity, relatively lower temperatures (20-40 degrees Fahrenheit), low pressure (5000 feet elevation), and less oxygen. Do you know of any bacteria that will survive and thrive under conditions similar the the ones aforementioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramecium8 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Arqueobacterias the oldest bacteria that survive this things but those are hard to find Tardigrades can survive in the space but they are eukaryotes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I have never heard of that species. But certain Actinobacteria and Chloroflexi have been found in desert soil. But there are also other common soil bacteria, such as rhizobia oar Arthrobacters that have successful members surviving in arid areas. Generally I would start looking at soil bacteria (as they are typically very tough bastards to begin with) and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
