Los limites de la Vida en la gradiente poliextrema del campo geotermal de Dallol. Life limits at the polyextreme gradients of the Dallol geothermal field Microbial life has adapted to various individual extreme conditions; yet, organisms simultaneously adapted to very low pH, high salt and high temperature are unknown. I will present evidence from combined environmental 16S/18S rRNA-gene metabarcoding, cultural approaches, fluorescence- activated cell sorting, scanning electron microscopy and chemical analyses supporting the existence of physicochemical barriers preventing active life along such unique polyextreme gradients in the Dallol- Danakil area (Ethiopia). We identify two physicochemical barriers to life in the presence of surface liquid water defined by: i) high chaotropicity-low water activity in Mg2+/Ca2+-dominated brines and ii) hyperacidity-salt combinations.

Introduction Back-arc basins are elongated features that form in subduction settings, behind island arcs and sometimes along continental margins, as a result of extensional processes that are most commonly attributed to slab roll back. They form in two stages, an initial interval of rifting which transitions to a later stage of seafloor spreading. Studies of this process are important for understanding the dynamics and evolution of subduction zones. In locations where back-arc rifting breaks continental crust, this process is also relevant to understanding the formation of passive continental margins (Martinez et al. 2007; Taylor 1995). The Bransfield Basin is a back-arc basin located between the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula in Western Antarctica (Figure 1).
