GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -A thermophile is an organism-a type of extremophile-that thrives at relatively high temperatures, between 41 and 122 °C (106 and 252 °F). Many thermophiles are archaea, though they can be bacteria or fungi.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. One type of “hyperthermophile", Methanopyrus kandleri, can even survive temperatures up to 122°C.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. Thermophiles (literally heat lovers) are organisms that grow at temperatures above those (25–40°C) that sustain most life forms. Typically, a thermophile shows maximum growth rates at temperatures above 45°C. Most are prokaryotes although a few thermophilic eukaryotes also exist.
