Summary

Description
English: Alvinella pompejana or Pompeii worm, able to survive temperatures as high as 176°F. A coating of protective bacteria covers this deep-sea worm's back.
Français : Alvinella pompejana ou vers de Pompéi, capable de survivre à des températures atteignant 176°F. Il est couvert d'un manteau de poils qui sont en fait constitués de bactéries à métabolisme chimiosynthétique. Cette espèce d'annélide polychète vit dans les grands fonds, toujours près de cheminées hydrothermales (dans l’océan Pacifique) vers 2 500 mètres de profondeur. Découvert en 1979 par des chercheurs français, le ver de Pompéi présente une thermotolérance exceptionnelle pour un eucaryote (de 20 à plus de 80°C chez l’adulte), et peut être qualifié d’extrémophile.
