A fact from Galdieria sulphuraria appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 June 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the red alga Galdieria sulphuraria grows well at pH between 0–4 and temperatures up to 56°C—among the most extreme environments known for a eukaryote?

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on 074 W stain? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.61.20.212 (talk) 22:09, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mystery of how it copes with extreme heat[edit]

From this BBC summary it seems they hadn't at the time identified the genes that give it adaptation to extreme heat:

"It is also a mystery – for now – how Galdieria copes with extreme heat. The scientists were unable to identify genes that could explain that particular feature of its biology."

I can't read the paper itself, behind a paywall. Robert Walker (talk) 12:46, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
