•! exhibited constant fatty acid composition with high amounts of unsaturated or short-chain fatty acids.

•! are “specialists“ in a small temperature range, in which they probably outcomplete mesophilic/ psychrotolerant species.

•! change the ratio of saturated, unsaturated and cyclopropane containg fatty acids with changing temperature via de novo synthesis.

•! are “generalists“, which propably outcomplete psychrophiles in environments with changing tempeartures.

Black Smoker (hydrothermal vent)

C. Cary

So-called "black smokers" are the hottest of the vents. They spew mostly iron and sulfide, which combine to form iron monosulfide. This compound gives the smoker its black color.
