Microorganisms that thrive at high temperatures, 45-80°C.

Microbes that grow at 0 to 20°C, optimal at 10°C.

Moderate-temperature-loving microbes, growing at 20 to 40°C, optimal around 37°C.

Also known as hyperthermophiles, survive above 80°C, often found in hot springs.

Groups based on temperature preference: psychrophilic, mesophilic, thermophilic, extreme thermophiles.

Methods used to isolate thermophiles from their environment.

Various methods employed to isolate thermophilic microorganisms.

Significant for industrial and environmental biotechnology applications.

A location in Perak known for its hot springs and thermophilic organisms.

Locations on the ocean floor where heated water and minerals seep out, fostering extremophilic life.

Photosynthetic bacteria that can thrive in extreme environments like hot springs.

A sinter formation shaped by thermal water and thermophilic bacteria at Opaheke, characterized by unusual shapes.

A thermophile that thrives at extreme temperatures, currently holding the record for the highest heat tolerance.

Thermophiles are classified into three kingdoms: Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, and Eukarya.

Organisms, like Aquifex or Thermotoga, that thrive in extremely high temperatures, often over 90°C.

Thermophiles can be found in hot springs, geothermal soils, and even composting materials.

A hyperthermophilic group of bacteria that oxidizes hydrogen or reduced sulfur compounds at high temperatures.

A thermophilic bacterium commonly found in hot springs, known for its heat-stable enzymes used in PCR.

An extremophilic genus of crenarchaeota that thrives in acidic hot springs and emits sulfur.

Areas such as the USA, Japan, and Iceland known for hosting thermophilic organisms due to heat.
