An extremotroph (from Latin ''ラテン語:extremus'' meaning "extreme" and Greek ' () meaning "food") is an organism that feeds on matter that is not typically considered to be food to most life on Earth. "These anthropocentric definitions that we make of extremophily and extremotrophy focus on a single environmental extreme but many extremophiles may fall into multiple categories, for example, organisms living inside hot rocks deep under the Earth's surface."〔Horikoshi, Koki (2010) ''Extremophiles Handbook'', pg. 5〕 == Examples == *''Pestalotiopsis microspora'': plastic eater〔(Activist Post: Jungle fungus eats plastic, beats cancer )〕 *''Halomonas titanicae'': metal eater〔(New Bacteria Found on Titanic; Eats Metal )〕 *''Geotrichum candidum'': compact disk eater〔(Fungus eats CD : Nature News )〕 *''Aspergillus fumigatus'': printed circuit board eater〔Kirksey, Kirk (2005) ''Computer Factoids: Tales from the High-Tech Underbelly'', pg. 74〕 *''Deinococcus radiodurans'': radioactive waste eater *''?'': space debris eaters〔(Mutant space microbes attack ISS: 'Munch' metal, may crack glass — RT )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Extremotroph」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
