Where is Deinococcus radiodurans found?

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Deinococcus radiodurans is found in many strange places. Some of those being the cooling cells of nuclear reactorsMars-like granite beds of Antartica, hot springs, llama feces

 

 

'Conan the Bacterium' is known to tolerate deserts and arctice tundra at the same time because it has the ability to withstand dehydration while these locations would damage the cell severly.

 

 

Deinococcus radiodurans is said to 'live everywhere, and yet nowhere' at the same time. Right now,                            no one knows where its natural habitat is.
