Congratulations! Your abstract has been accepted to the Astron-GeoSci 160 Conference on Extremophiles. Your abstract describes the discovery of a novel hyperthermophilic, chemolithoautotrophic, acidophilic microorganism. Please elaborate on (1) the habitat where you discovered the organism (specific name of a place or a general description of the type of habitat are both acceptable) (2 points) (2) the name of an element that this organism uses to obtain metabolic energy (2 points) (3) the form of carbon it uses for cell synthesis (2 points) (4) the organism’s optimal growth conditions in terms of temperature (choose either 40, 60, or 80 degrees C) and pH (choose either 2, 7, or 10) (2 points) (5) the gene within the organism’s genome would you sequence to determine it’s phylogenetic position in the Universal Tree of Life (2 points).
