You will also be pleased to know that these bacteria, thriving kilometers deep in the crust at temperatures in the 50°C range, will be the spark that recolonizes the earth's surface after a 7,000 kilometer-wide asteroid impact deep-fries all extant top-dwellers.
At first I was impressed by this discovery. But at about the fourth paragraph, I got so tired of them using the word "extreme" to describe the bacteria (or their "lifestyle") that I stopped reading. Bacteria on tiny snowboards, or equipped with tiny parachutes or bungee cords. X-treme!
