Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Organisms with an optimum temperature for growth between 60 and 80 °C are generally designated as thermophiles, while those growing optimally above 80 °C are referred to as hyperthermophiles (Santos and Da Costa 2002).
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
