Summary Introduction
Thermophilic microorganisms are mostly present in the extreme temperature environments of 41oC to 122oC. Acidophiles are the organisms which lives in extreme acidic environments, even at the below pH level of 1.0. Organisms which live in both hyper temperature and acidic environment is said to be Thermoacidophilic organisms. Example:Acidianus.
