Abstract Hot springs and hydrothermal systems occurring within volcanic areas are inhabited by hyperthermophilic microorganisms, some of which grow at temperatures up to 110 °C. Hyperthermophiles grow anaerobically or aerobically by diverse metabolic types. Within the high temperature ecocystems, primary production is independent from solar energy.
