Detailed explanation-1: -Thermophilic bacteria are those that thrive within high temperatures, usually between 45 and 80 C (113 and 176F) and are found in environments such as hot springs, peat bogs, and near deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
Detailed explanation-2: -Acidophiles thrive under highly acidic conditions such as marine volcanic vents, and acidic sulfur springs, acid rock drainage (ARD) and acid mine drainage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Heat-adapted extremophilic organisms (called thermophiles) belong to bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya, plants, and animals (Dalmaso et al., 2015). Thermophiles are categorized as moderate thermophiles (50–60°C), extreme thermophiles (60–80°C), and hyperthermophiles (80–120°C).
Detailed explanation-4: -The main thermophilic bacteria used in the production of fermented milks include lactobacilli, Streptococcus thermophilus and bifidobacteria. DNA fingerprinting is now commonly used to determine the taxonomic location of these organisms.
Detailed explanation-5: -Almost all hot springs and geysers host thermophilic bacteria.
