Researchers experimented with fungi, and found that they can live in extreme temperatures. Eukaryotes can only live to the extreme temperature of 62 °C, but Thermophilic Fungi have been recorded to live in temperatures higher than this. #MUEvolution21 http
Extremophilic hydrocarbonoclastic fungi, "a broad group of cultivable fungi that are able to live optimally under extreme conditions and are characterized by having a high ability to grow using hydrocarbons as sole carbon source and energy". https://t.co/h
Although the maximum temperature limit for eukaryotes is roughly 62°C, thermophilic fungi are known to be an exception. Fungi gradually adapted to these extreme environments in search of nutrients that they previously were deprived of. #Muevolution20 http
