Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Thermophilic sulpher bacteria’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Archaebacteria (Thermophiles) are ancient forms of bacteria found in hot water springs and deep-sea hydrothermal vents. They are able to survive in high temperatures (which far exceed 100°C) because their bodies have adapted to such environmental conditions.
Detailed explanation-3: -"Thermophiles” are microorganisms with optimal growth temperatures between 60 and 108 degrees Celsius, isolated from a number of marine and terrestrial geothermally-heated habitats including shallow terrestrial hot springs, hydrothermal vent systems, sediment from volcanic islands, and deep sea hydrothermal vents.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hyperthermophilic (ie, high-temperature-loving) archaebacteria, found in submarine hydrothermal areas (see Stetter, 1982; Segerer, et al., 1985; Stetter, 1986; Huber et al., 1989; Neuner et al., 1990), thrive at temperatures in the range 80-110°C, and they are unable to grow below 60°C.
