A thermophile is an organism — a type of extremophile — that thrives at relatively high temperatures, between 45 and 80 °C (113 and 176 °F). Many thermophiles are archaea. Thermophiles are found in ...

Since then, more than 50 hyperthermophiles have been isolated. ... The majority are archaea, although some cyanobacteria and anaerobic photosynthetic bacteria grow well at 70 to 75°C (158 to 167°F). The most heat-resistant of all known hyperthermophiles are the anaerobic archaea, including members of the genuses...

How can these microbes live at the boiling point of water? ... Hyperthermophiles have been placed in the domain Archaea (named from the Archaean age, 3.8 to 2.5 billion years ago, when life first appeared on Earth) and are as different from bacteria as they are from eukaryotes (plants and animals).

The Calvin cycle has not been found in hyperthermophiles (or any Archaea). Organotrophic metabolism mainly involves peptides and sugars as substrates, which are either oxidized to CO2 by external electron acceptors or fermented to acetate and other products.

In general the biochemistry of hyperthermophiles proteins is very similar to that of mesophiles. When protein sequences and three-dimensional structures are compared, there are no significant differences among molecules: the sequences of homologous proteins from hyperthermophiles and mesophiles are 40 to 80% similar;

The distribution of culturable hyperthermophiles was studied in relation to environmental conditions in the Kubiki oil reservoir in Japan, where the temperature was between 50 and 58°C. Dominant hyperthermophilic cocci and rods were isolated and shown to belong to the genera Thermococcus and Thermotoga, respectively,

Since many archaea are also hyperthermophiles and may be the most ancient life-forms on the planet, the investigators speculate that the archaea gave genes to A.
