Pressure X-Philes: Archaea
Archaeal Barophiles & Hyperbarotolerant, Near-Barophilic Archaeal Mesobarophiles
Introduction
Also known as piezophiles, this group includes organisms with an optimal growth pressure of 10 Mpa (~100 bar) or higher (≥98.6 atmospheres).
List of Archaeal Barophiles & Hyperbarotolerant Archaeal Mesobarophiles by Barotolerance
Here organisms are listed first by the upper end of their temperature range, then by OGT, then by the lower end of their temperature range, and for any organisms for which these properties are unknown or the same, they will be listed in alphabetical order.
