Abstract

Shih et al. isolate eight nematode species from the arsenic-rich Mono Lake, previously thought to contain only two animal species. One of the Mono Lake nematodes is culturable and shows high arsenic resistance. Resistance in closely related non-extremophile species raises the possibility that nematodes are widely pre-adapted to be extremophiles.
