Summary Introduction
Hyperthermophiles are the organisms which survives in extreme hot condition where the temperature exceeds about 70oC and even some microbes can survive at extreme conditions like above 100oC. Hyperthermophilic organisms can be found in deep sea hydrothermal vents, and volcanic sediments. Hyperthermophiles are adapted and have peculiar physiological mechanism in order to survive in such extreme conditions. Example: Methanopyrus.
