From 1965 through 1975, I conducted an extensive field and
laboratory research project on thermophilic microorganisms. The
field work was based primarily in Yellowstone National Park, using
a field laboratory we set up in the city of W. Yellowstone,
Montana. The laboratory work was carried out from 1965 through 1971
at Indiana University, Bloomington, and subsequently at the
University of Wisconsin, Madison. Although this research project
began small, it quickly ramified in a wide variety of directions.
The major thrust was an attempt to understand the ecology and
evolutionary relationships of thermophilic microorganisms, but
research also was done on biochemical, physiologic, and taxonomic
aspects of thermophiles. Four new genera of thermophilic
microorganisms have been discovered during the course of this
10-year period, three in my laboratory. In addition, a large amount
of new information has been obtained on some thermophilic
microorganisms that previously had been known. In later years, a
considerable amount of work was done on Yellowstone algal bacterial
mats as models for Precambrian stromatolites. In the broadest
sense, the work could be considered geomicrobiological, or
biogeochemi cal, and despite the extensive laboratory research
carried out, the work was always firmly rooted in an attempt to
understand thermophilic microorga nisms in their natural
environments. Indeed, one of the prime motivations for initiating
this work was a view that extreme environments would provide useful
models for studying the ecology of microorganisms. As a result of
this 10-year research project, I published over 100 papers."
