Title: Quite possibly the world's most resistant bacteria Written by: duddy on Oct 31, 2014 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_31_10_14_11_04_07.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=19332) Deinococcus radiodurans is an extremophilic bacterium, one of the most radiation-resistant organisms known. It can survive cold, dehydration, vacuum, and acid, and is therefore known as a polyextremophile and has been listed as the world's toughest bacterium in The Guinness Book Of World Records. Comments: True, but the chances of encountering this species of bacteria is infinitesimally small.
