Hot spring amoeba breaks record for heat tolerance of complex life

A tiny, single-celled organism can thrive at temperatures that would kill all other known complex life. In a study published in Cell, scientists describe a new species of amoeba that can eat and reproduce in hot spring water as warm as 63°C (145°F) in California's Lassen Volcanic National Park. The amoeba can protect itself at temperatures up to 70°C (158°F) by changing shape and forming a protective outer layer.

Fire amoeba breaks heat tolerance record for complex life

Incendiamoeba cell reproducing at 63°CFelix Mikus A species of amoeba discovered in California’s Lassen Volcanic National Park can survive and thrive in temperatures that had been considered impossibly high for complex life. Nicknamed the fire amoeba by the researchers who collected it, Incendiamoeba cascadensis can survive in waters heated up to 70°C. However, it only retains the ability to eat and reproduce up to temperatures of 63°C, and it loses the ability to move around above 64°C.
