Nihil, I did not write up the pressure experiments because I was doing it through a private company. I was aware of was being done at the time by researching at UT in Austin. Autoclaved fish is sterilized mostly by the heat. I was using ambient temperatures or colder to pressurize the brine shrimp. Above 12,000 P.S.I. they were killed almost instantly, but I could hold them for hours at about 10,000 P.S.I. without harming them. The pressure was released in just a few seconds. I even got one shrimp to survive freezing at -20 C. overnight under pressure, but it only lived about 5 minutes. That was better than anyone else had done at the time. I think that the bacteria that they are talking about in volcanoes are not associated with lava flows, but some of the pressure vents. That is still pretty extreme. I think that we are just beginning to understand what life can tolerate. We are prejudiced by the life that we see in the sea and on the surface of the Earth. Life evolves easily with water available mostly because random encounters between different chemicals occur more rapidly to present more opportunities for new possibilities. As heat is increased the encounters increase. Del
