Detailed explanation-1: -Hyperthermophile (60 degrees C and upwards) Thermophile (optimal growth between 45 and 122 degrees) Mesophile (20 and 45 degrees C) Psychrotrophs (will survive at 0 degrees C, but prefer mesophilic temperature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thermophiles are those organisms which grow above 40 °C, and which have optimal growth temperatures between 50 and 55 °C (Gleeson et al., 2013).
Detailed explanation-3: -Thermophiles-those that grow between 45 and 60 degrees C. 2. Extreme thermophiles/ hyperthermophiles-bacteria that grow above 80 degrees C.
Detailed explanation-4: -Species that can specifically withstand extreme heat are called Thermophiles. Most thermophiles live at temperatures between 60 and 80 ° C (140 to 176 ° F). Thermophiles are capable of growing, carrying out metabolic processes, and reproducing at these extreme temperatures.
Detailed explanation-5: -Mesophiles. Organisms categorized as mesophiles (“middle loving”) are adapted to moderate temperatures, with optimal growth temperatures ranging from room temperature (about 20 °C) to about 45 °C.
