Question
Chapter 17.9, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
Thermophiles are the organisms mostly microbes which survive in extreme heat environment at the temperature of 41oC and above upto 122oC. Acidophiles are the organisms which lives in extreme acidic environments even at the below pH level of 1. Organisms which live in both hyper temperature and acidic environment are said to be thermoacidophilic organisms (example:Crenoarcaeota).
