[3][4] The species "freezes" or soldifies and ceases growth at temperatures of 90°C and below.[5] Strain 121, a microbe from the same family found at a vent in the Pacific Ocean, survived and multiplied during a 10-hour interval spent at 121 °C in an autoclave.[3]References1. ^C.Michael Hogan. 2010.
