| The current paper reviews strategies employed by microorganisms from the deep biosphere, especially piezophiles (from the greek piezo = to press and philo = love), to cope with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) prevailing in these biotopes. The aim of this review is not to constitute an exhaustive report of our current knowledge on the physiology of piezophiles, as recent reviews have covered part of this subject in detail (Abe, 2007; Lauro and Bartlett, 2008; Michiels et al., 2008; Simonato et al., 2006). Rather, we illustrate here, via a few chosen examples, where we stand in our understanding of the mechanisms employed by microorganisms from the depths of our planet to cope with HHP.

| A novel strictly anaerobic, hyperthermophilic archaeon, designated strain CDGST, was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent in the Cayman Trough at 4964 m water depth. The novel isolate is obligate anaerobe and grows chemoorganoheterotrophically with stimulation of growth by sulphur containing compounds. Its growth is optimal at 75 °C, pH 6.0 and under a pressure of 50 MPa. It possesses the broadest hydrostatic pressure range for growth that has ever been described for a microorganism. Its genomic DNA G + C content is 51.11 mol%. The novel isolate belongs to the genus Thermococcus. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that it is most closely related to Thermococcus barossii DSM17882T based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence, and to ‘Thermococcus onnurineus’ NA1... |
