How eukaryotic algae can adapt to the Spain's Rio Tinto : a neo-Darwinian proposal for rapid adaptation to an extremely hostile ecosystem

Microalgae contributed 60% of the total biomass in the extremely hostile (pH 2 and metal-rich waters) environment of Rio Tinto (which is used as a model for the astrobiology of Mars). These algae are closely related to nonextreme lineages, suggesting that adaptation to Rio Tinto water (RTW) must occ...
