The location where these organisms live is unusual because  bacteria and clams are found in the same area

A community of bacteria and clams living beneath an ice shelf in Antarctica was recently discovered by scientists.

How is the location of these organisms unusual?

  • These organisms live under 600 feet of ice
  • They live under high pressure and in anaerobic condition, the temperature is very low.
  • There is no sunlight so they have different mode of nutrition.
  • These abiotic factors are very extreme and the organism has evolved different physiological methods to maintain homeostasis and survive.

What is tolerance?

  • It defines the range of values in which an organism can survive.
  • So organisms can tolerate a large range the term "eury" is used to denote that for example, eurythermal, euryhaline, etc.
  • Other organisms can tolerate only narrow range of values they are denotes by the term "steno" for example, stenothermal, stenohaline, etc.
