Hyperthermophile

A hyperthermophile is an organism that thrives in extremely hot environments— from 60 °C upwards. An optimal temperature for the existence of hyperthermophiles is above 80 °C. Hyperthermophiles are a subset of extremophiles, micro-organisms within the domain Archaea, although some bacteria are able to tolerate temperatures of around 100 °C, as well. Some bacteria can survive at temperatures higher than 100 °C at large depths in sea where water does not boil because of high pressure. Many hyperthermophiles are also able to withstand other environmental extremes such as high acidity or radiation levels.
