Detailed explanation-1: -There are two major groups of monerans archaebacteria (ancient bacteria) and eubacteria (true bacteria). Eubacteria is of further two types-bacteria and cyanobacteria. Thermoacidophiles are a type of archaebacteria which live in extremely acidic environment (pH 2) that have extremely high temperatures (upto 110°C).
Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Some hyperthermophilic organisms that grow in highly acidic (pH=2) habitats belong to the two groups i.e.; Cyanobacteria and Diatoms.
Detailed explanation-3: -Today, hyperthermophilic (’superheat-loving’) bacteria and archaea are found within high-temperature environments, representing the upper temperature border of life. They grow optimally above 80°C and exhibit an upper temperature border of growth up to 113°C.
Detailed explanation-4: -A hyperthermophile is an organism that thrives in extremely hot environments-from 60 °C (140 °F) upwards. An optimal temperature for the existence of hyperthermophiles is often above 80 °C (176 °F).
Detailed explanation-5: -Hyperthermophilic Archaea are generally restricted to environments in which geothermal energy is available, such as hot springs, solfataras, geothermally heated marine sediments, and submarine hydrothermal vents.
