• The Habitability of Planets Orbiting M-dwarf Stars (2016, background): “…hyperthermophilic organisms belong to the archaea domain, some of which are capable of growth at temperatures as high as 113◦C (Blochl et al., 1997; Rothschild & Mancinelli, 2001; Des Marais et al., 2008), with the current upper limit being 122◦C under highpressure conditions (Takai et al., 2008).”
• Microbiology of Seamounts Common Patt erns Observed in Community Structure (2010, positive): “Some of the most notable findings from over three decades of research on hydrothermal vents are the extension of the thermal limit for life (Takai et al., 2008) as well as the discovery of a host of bacteria and archaea with novel anaerobic and aerobic metabolisms that take advantage of unique…”
• Resistance of Microorganisms to Extreme Environmental Conditions and Its Contribution to Astrobiology (2010, background): “survive and reproduce at 121 °C and 122 °C, respectively [18,19].”
• The thermal limits to life on Earth (2014, background): “However a strain of M. kandleri isolated subsequently from the Kairei vent field on the Central IndianRidge was found to grow at 122 °C under 40MPa pressure (Takai et al. 2008), just surpassing the previous record for 121 °C for Geogemma barossii strain 121 (Kashefi & Lovley 2003).”
• Impacts of Deep-Sea Mining on Microbial Ecosystem Services (2018, background): “Models of fluid circulation that assume a temperature limit of life of 122°C (Takai et al., 2008) as the main limitation to life yield a wide range of results depending on the depth of fluid circulation within the seafloor (Lowell et al., 2015), which can range from a few centimeters to the full…”
• High-Pressure Biochemistry and Biophysics (2013, methodology): “Bacterial metabolic activity has been described at temperatures as low as −40 °C (Rivkina et al. 2000; Price and Sowers 2004; Pan-ikov and Sizova 2007; Collins et al. 2010) and a methanogen has been cultured at 122 °C under hydrostatic pressure (Takai et al. 2008).”
