“…Site E (62 1C) was well below the known upper temperature limit for photosynthesis (Brock, 1967;Cox et al, 2011) and contained OTUs belonging to known photosynthetic genera. Synechococcus and Chloroflexus were each represented by at least one 97% OTU of B3.57% relative abundance at site E. However, neither organism was detected at site C (76 and 72 1C), possibly due to temperature fluctuations that were common in GBS (data not shown).…”

“…ife in environments with temperatures that exceed the upper limit of photosynthesis (ϳ73°C) is supported by chemical energy (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). In the case of high-temperature (Ͼ73°C) terrestrial hot spring environments, the prevalence of members of the bacterial phylum Aquificales has been interpreted to reflect the importance of lithoautotrophic metabolism in supporting communities inhabiting these systems (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”

“…Cell-sediment separation Due to ongoing research projects at hot springs within Yellowstone National Park (Cox et al 2011;Havig et al 2011), we sought to determine cellular elemental ratios in samples from the area's diverse hot spring ecosystems. Field sediment samples were collected in July and August 2009 at hot springs with temperatures ranging from 20°C to boiling (~93°C).…”
