Detailed explanation-1: -Thermophilic fungi are a small assemblage in mycota that have a minimum temperature of growth at or above 20°C and a maximum temperature of growth extending up to 60 to 62°C.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thermophilic Bacteria One type of “hyperthermophile", Methanopyrus kandleri, can even survive temperatures up to 122°C. (251.6°F)’ which is far above the boiling point of water. Hot Springs National park’s geothermal hot springs are an ideal environment for some species of these heat loving bacteria.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thermophiles include Bacillus stearothermophilus, Thermoplasma acidophilum, Thermus aquaticus, and others, whereas extreme thermophiles include Pyrodictium occultum and Pyrococcus abyssi. Thermophiles often include archaea and bacteria (thermophilic prokaryotes), which can survive in high temperatures.
