👉 Paradoxococcus is a bacterium that thrives in extreme conditions, such as those found in the extreme cold and high pressure environments of Antarctica. It can grow at temperatures below -100°C (-68°F) and pressures up to 250 kPa (300 torr). This unique bacterium has been used for its ability to thrive in harsh conditions by producing a wide range of compounds, including antibiotics, biofuels, and pharmaceuticals.
