Kashefi and Lovley were able to grow an unnamed archaeal species at temperatures above 120°C only because they used Fe₃⁺ as an electron acceptor-no other electron acceptor they tried allowed the species to grow (see Figure 25.14A).How might you explore the same or other high-temperature environments for other hyperthermophilic organisms not detected by Kashefi and Lovley using Fe₃⁺?
