The aim of present study was the isolation and characterization of thermophilic bacteria from three different hot springs in Erzurum, Turkey. For this purpose, 85 bacteria were isolated and characterized by ERIC-PCR genomic fingerprinting and classical identification methods such as morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics. According to the results, 29 bacterial isolates with different band profiles were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and identified as belonging to the genus of Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Silanimonas, Thermomonas and Thauera. This is the first report on the isolation of Silanimonas lenta, Thauera sp. and Thermomonas haemolytica from Turkey Hot Springs. The amylase, lipase and protease enzyme production potentials of the isolates were 80%, 91.25% and 81.25%, respectively. Moreover, 56.47% of the isolates (48) were able to produce all of these enzymes. Therefore, the results of the study indicated that these bacteria and their enzymes can be used as a source of industrial enzymes.

Abiotic H and hydrocarbons are found in fluids discharged from ultramafic-hosted hydrothermal vents. Beneath the hydrothermal vents, abiotic H and hydrocarbons can be formed by serpentinization reactions and Fischer-Tropsch-type hydrocarbon-forming reactions, respectively, over ultramafic rocks. However, the source rocks that form abiotic H and hydrocarbons may extend to broader subsurface rocks.

Hydrothermal vents are ecosystems inhabited by a highly specialized fauna. To date, more than 30 gastropod species have been recorded from vent fields along the Central and Southeast Indian Ridge and all of them are assumed to be vent-endemic. During the INDEX project, 701 representatives of the genus Anatoma (Mollusca: Vetigastropoda) were sampled from six abyssal hydrothermal vent fields.

The region of Arica and Parinacota hosts unexplored remote sites with unique characteristics suitable for developing novel agricultural bioproducts. Notable locations include Jurasi Hot Springs, Polloquere Hot Springs, and Amuyo Lagoons, featuring open pools fed by thermal mountain springs. These geothermal sites harbor bacteria with plant growth-promoting activities, particularly interesting to the strains J19, TP22, A20, and A3.

Photosynthetic microbial mats in hot springs can provide insights into the diel behaviors of communities in extreme environments. In this habitat, photosynthesis dominates during the day, leading to super-oxic conditions, with a rapid transition to fermentation and anoxia at night. Multiple samples were collected from two springs over several years to generate metagenomic and metatranscriptomic datasets.
