Question

Are some microbes able to live in habitats with temperatures exceeding 100°C?

Answer 1

yes,they protect themselves due to spores..the go inside the spores when the temperature is not suited to them

Answer 2

Answer:

Thermophiles or Archaebacteria are ancient forms of bacteria that are present in deep sea hydrothermal vents and hot water springs. They are able to withstand the high temperature (exceeding 100 degree C) as their bodies have adapted to these extreme environmental conditions. Such entities comprise of specialized thermo-resistant enzymes that perform metabolic functions which do not get destructed at these extreme temperatures.
