Cells that breathe oxygen and sulfur at the same time

Some of the most interesting organisms can be found in these sort of extreme environments.

Not really related to the article, but I'm really fond of this one, found in salt pools, for its beautiful and unique morphology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloquadratum

That says it was discovered by "A.E. Walsby" who passed away in 2024. It also says this is his self portrait

Something seems a bit off about that self portrait.

There are a lot of interesting organisms. Some eats away plastic, some grows back their limbs, and so on. I am pretty sure people are doing researches on them, as we would like to have that kind of regenerative power. I do not have a better list now, but I have ran across a lot more, interesting ones.

We'll be able to mimic RSW1 enzymes to produce hydrogen gas for clean fuel (:

from the title it can be deduced that these organisms are quite exothermic and can be identified by there smell
