The researchers collected microorganisms within soils from Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco and the Canary Islands, and showed that the hardiest of them, a Bacillus species from Morocco, could survive in a dried spore stage at temperatures up to 420o C. More than 90 percent of spores could be “resurrected” after heating to 300o C, and about 40 percent after being heated to 420°C.
