Answer: Acidophiles or acidophilic organisms are those that thrive under highly acidic conditions (usually at pH 2.0 or below). These organisms can be found in different branches of the tree of life, including Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Examples of acidophiles include Thiobacillus acidophilus (a type of bacteria), Vorticella (a type of eukaryote), and Crenarchaeota (a type of archaea). Scientists have identified several areas, natural and manmade, that are acidic enough for acidophiles to thrive in.
